Did my first run with my new Hakka stuffer. Been using a jerky Shooter in the past to stuff sticks in collagen.
Machine works great just need the operator to stuff a little firmer.
6 hour Apple wood smoke in the MES30 with Mailbox mod (AMNPS)..

Taste is phenomenal !!!

Hi there and welcome!!!
Man that looks very good! What grind plate are you using, I like the look and it looks like you have a bigger meatier texture of meat inside those sticks.

I do a double grind with the course plate on my Kitchen Aid.

6 pounds pork 80/20 fat ratio

I’ve been wanting to try Kabanosy for a while now but couldn’t find a recipe.
Thank you!
They look great!
I sent a “Like” your way....
 
Shot 2 deer yesterday, hoping to run a batch of kabanosy sometime this week. Picked up sheep casings yesterday. Did you use Prague #1 or tenderquick? How is the saltiness?
 
Cure #1. The salt is dead on .. Been playing with this recipe for a while..
 
Did mine yesterday. 7:3 venison to pork shoulder ratio. Looks great. Pan fried great (first experience with kabanosy to any extent, very interesting flavor). I used a different recipe than yours, though. Should be in the smoker today.

Couple of questions.
How do you know your meat is at 80/20? Is it pre ground?
Also, what brand kosher salt did you use?

I know, that’s 3 questions....
 
Sausage and recipe look really good! Do you think using fresh crushed garlic would hurt or change the overall flavor of the Kabanosy?

I use pork loin (BJ's CluB) and mix it with pork fat ( trim from my pork belly for bacon). I grind it myself. Morton's Kosher salt.

Always used granulated garlic as it is easier to mix as it dissolves and covers more surface than little pieces.

I do 99% of my sausage from wild game meat. I just buy trimmed pork back fat from the butcher. It makes going 80/20 super easy and 80/20 math is very easy as well (4 meat/1 fat = 5 pounds sausage, and 8 meat/2 fat = 10 pounds of sausage, mix and match those numbers for 15, 20, 25, etc. pounds of sausage).

I get consistent and repeatable results that are amazing EVERY time! No guessing, no buying pork butts or briskets and eyeballing, etc. Just consistent heavenly sausage :D

Perfect! I can get back fat from a meat shop here and I already have loin. Some recipes call for Diamond Crystal which is why I asked. I use Morton’s for pretty much everything.
Looks like a Kabanosy weekend coming up!
I’ll be using 22mm collagen instead of sheep, though.
Thanks, oz.
