Most EXCELLENT  !!!

 

How did you come by the cellulose casings.  All I can find is to buy them in huge quantity.  I'd like to get a hundred of them or so.  I guess they come in strands so 2-3 of them would do me fine.

I bought a case of them. :biggrin:

If you are willing to pick up the cost of the casings and shipping I can send some to you. I have more than I will need for quite some time.

Going to be up that way soon so i can just pick some up. Will let you know when we are in Mooresville.
 
What recipe are you using?

Erythorbates are a curing accelerator and speeds up curing process. You can stuff and smoke right away.  Take in consideration that SOME pre mixes already have this added. Be careful with SE as 1oz will do 100 lbs of meat.

Also known as Sodium Tri Poly Phosphate and Sodium Phosphate, Brifisol 450 is a food grade phosphate that is used with meat products to help in the retention of moisture and soluble proteins. Sodium Tripolyphosphate is compatible with all curing ingredients such as nitrites, nitrates, sugar, salt and ascorbic acid or its derivative, sodium erythorbate. (Dont confuse this with TSP that can be bought at a hardware store)
I'm going to use same Len Poli recipe the OP used.  Like him  I won't be adding MSG but otherwise want to follow the recipe exactly.  I'll be grinding thru my small plate (3/16?) twice instead of emulsifying the mix as I think I will prefer it that way.  From your post it looks as though I can skip the SE as for ten lbs it would only be 1/2 tsp.

If you aren't going to grind, mix, stuff, and smoke/cook in the same day you will be ok. If you are, use the sodium erythorbate.

interesting.... what about ginding/mixing/stuffing in the same day and waiting a couple days to smoke/poach.  The dogs have Cure#1 in them and the SE is used as a cure accelerant according to a previous post.  By letting them cure for a couple days would eliminate the need to speed the process with SE, correct?

You should be fine if you leave them overnight. I see a mistake in my post I need to correct.
 
Yes you can grind, stuff, smoke same day. Only time i dont is when i have to much to do or it needs to ferment.
