    Another let down.

    So. After getting my 5lb cabelas vertical sausage stuffer and realizing I needed a 3/8" tube for snack sticks I decided to go another route. I noticed cabelas had the 9# Dakotah stuffer for the same price and included that 3/8" horn. I drive 2 hours to cabelas and exchanged. Drove 2 hours home...

    First attempt at snack sticks went horrible

    Today was my first attempt at snack sticks. It started off terrible when I realized the casings would not fit the horn. I just picked up a cabelas stuffer which comes with a 15mm,20mm, and 30mm horn. I was trying to use 16mm casings. It did not work. I tried to fashion up a 3/8" horn using pex...

    Do you keep casings on?

    This may be a dumb question but this is my first attempt at sausage. When making venison/pork breakfast sausage and snack sticks do you leave the calogen casings on after smoking/cooking it. The sausage I am making will be fresh so I won't be smoking it. I'm just wondering if the calogen casings...

    Venison breakfast sausage cure?

    I am a big fan of the con Yeager spices. They have a maple sausage seasoning that I plan to use for some breakfast sausage. I'll be using 21mm calogen casings. However, on their recipe it does not show any cure added. Would this be because there shouldn't be any cure added (even though it's a 25...

    Vacuum packing

    I recently ground up some pork and venison to make some sweet Bologna. I then realized I need to use my dreaded grinder with the "stuffer" attachment. Total brain fart. I tried this last year and it was pretty miserable. My questions are 1. Are there any tricks to make an already crappy grinder...

    My first attempt at pulled pork

    I am trying my first Boston butt. It has been on for about 4 hours now and it has seemed to stall at 144. I wanted to wrap it in foil at 165 but in afraid I'm not going to get there for a very long time. I have been at 120-130 for the 4 hours. Any suggestions?

    Three dashed lines on maverick 733

    Can anybody help me and tell me why my new maverick has three lines on the remote. It's completely worthless to me if I have to keep going outside and looking at the temps on the transmitter. I have had it 6 inches away and still no change

    Making rub vs store bought

    I know this topic may start a debate but I wanted to hear some reasoning to both sides. Is it worth it to make your own rub? You gotta figure that the stuff you can buy from reputable dealers has been tried and tested or else they wouldn't sell it. So, I am sure many of you make your own and...

    Quick newb question

    Gonna make my first attempt at smoking cheese. I Know that you shouldn't let the cheese get over 70-75 in the smoker. It has been single digits to mid teens here in PA lately. My question is do I set my MES30 to a certain temp with my Amazin pellet smoker or do I just put the cheese in and let...
