Well sorry to take so long posting the final pics / results of my first smoked sausage adventure , but here goes .
Firstly let me report that the 30/lb stuffer with electric motor which I posted about a couple weeks ago and ordered from Cabelas works awesome and is of great value / quality for it's price range $ 749.00 cad ...shipped taxes and duty in to my door ... although time will tell if the motor ...1/8th hp holds up or not ,
anyhow I made 15lb of the Hi Mountain old fashioned bologna , used 1/2 beef and 1/2 pork for the mix ground thru a fine plate twice , mixed and stuffed cured overnight .... smoked as per their directions , it tastes very good , not too salty and kinda a cross between bologna and salami ,with a texture more like sausage than bologna .
The garlic and cheddar links , I had a bit of a time getting them spaced well in the MES cause it's so dang small ( wheels turning
), but they turned out okay and taste good , next time if I do them again I prolly will leave out the caraway or at least cut it back , but that's the fun of doing new things !!
and here's a few pics of the smoked and packaged products and the new stuffer ...click on the pics they get bigger
