Looking good! I used the 22mm "HiCountry" brand with my Kitchenaid sausage stuffer attachment...just did a basic beef stick. Next time I'll do the Jalapeno Cheese stick!

I haven't made any yet, but I'm closing in though 

 I've been looking for another source to get more casings..... think I'll place an order for sticks also. I have a feeling these will last about as long as the jerky does around here. The jerky fumes from the process can't even completely dissipate and they're all gone.

Yes, basically the auger doesn't have enough to "push/pull" it thru so you're left with the plunger pressing it in. The plunger is too small and creates a vacuum when you push, which allows the meat to push by and load up the back side of the plunger...it's a process for sure. I'm looking at building a water stuffer out of PVC and other readily available parts from Lowe's/Home Depot.

Also, get some exhaust clamps...get rid of u-bolt and nuts...use the cradle to hold your tube smoker.
