[NePaSmoKer]

This is part of the order for a friend. He told me to keep half  ;D

5 lbs worth. While the casings are soaking i best do some chores before mixing/stuffing

Casings rinsed and soaking for a couple hours.



Since my wife is at work today  ;D I get to use the Kirby stuffer in the house YAY

[Bigbirdoffroad]

I look forward to seeing the Kirby Cannon in operation!

I'm expecting delivery of mine sometime today.

I see some sausage-making in my immediate future....  ;D :)

Would really like to see that bad boy at work...The probability that thing could shoot something out of the sky is pretty good.. :D

Does anyone see a monkey hiding at about 11:00 in those casings?  :D

Or is it just me?  ::)

[NePaSmoKer]

[NePaSmoKer]

Here is the Kirby Cannon in action  ;D




Make sure you dont have any air pocket in the meat.



I use this to push the meat into the tube.



5 pounds to the bulkhead.





Front cap on. Here if you like you can fill the tube and push the meat forward so you dont have so much air in the stuffer tube.



I cut my stuffer tube down smaller.





Casing on the tube. Easy to slide on, just dont tie the end until its all the way on the tube.



Ok stuff em.







This is all thats left after the ram goes all forward. And the small amount in the tube. Compost pile it  ;D




Casing drying while 6 rack pre heats.




Hanging at 130* for 1.5 hours then PID to 140* w/smoke 3 hours. PID through 140/170
