Just mixed up a new recipe I came up with for trail sticks. Smoking them tomorrow after they have time to mingle in the fridge! Trying for a Cordon bleu and Bacon slim jim. Not sure it's there yet. But the wife dont really care much for sausage. So trying to please her. Kept a few handfuls back and fried for supper. She loved it. See what the sticks are like tomorrow. May still mix with quanitys but as a sausage patty it was a real hit out of the park. Sorry not a lot of picks. But i was changing things as I go from the original recipe I had made up. But this is 3 lbs of my sticks. Made a small batch to test the new grinder. Wow 3 lbs of chicken breast down in less then a minute i would say. Not bad for a small grinder. I also tied the links for fun and looks. I think it makes the sticks look better then just cutting them. Plus easy to maintain lengths.

What type of casings are you using?

Well I was going to use natural but got the new grinder so I used it. The smallest tube wouldn't fit my casings had to go a little bigger so I ended up with collagen. Next time grind then use stuffer. Grinds quick stuffs slowly. LOL
