Looks like you have set up shop! Congrats ;D 10 lbs of the famous NEPAS SS to a neighbor and he will spread the word. Pretty soon the entire KOA community will be knocking down the door for SS and Stix's. Just make sure you remember how to make der hoofen ;D. Matter of fact I made up 5 pounds of the Black Forest but no der hoofen. :o
Got 5 lbs of pastrami SS mixed.
Mix of assorted items, cure 1 and 1 cup water.

Let this stand for 30 mins to marry up before adding to the meat.

At this rate, you will be building a small building outside the RV to do all your sausage work. Your version of a "dog house".
