Hello all,
I'm relatively new but refining my system. The main issue: how small of a collogen casing is too small? What's the smallest casing and corresponding stuffing horn can I get by with?
I know, more information is needed. Using a 22lb Vevor electric stuffer.
This is a venison/pork mixture. Last batch used a 10mm horn with Walton's 16mm casings. With no cheese, things went okay. When the cheese started, it did not go well if at all. Motor was getting hot. Moved to a 12mm horn. Again, this went okay but not very quick at all. The 16mm casings I could get on the horn, but had to unravel and it took significant effort, I'd prefer to avoid this if possible but it's not out of the question. I had some 19mm casings as well, this went fine. But I tend to prefer smaller snack sticks. Any advice/tips is appreciated.
