Dude,
That is such a cool video. Thanks for posting it. I swear I'm gonna make sausage once I can find the time. I have a brand new grinder and stuffer still sitting in the box!

I thought the vid came out great. You held it pretty steady while mixing the product. Enjoyed it!

Video looks just fine Nepas. I still aint that handy with camera to attempt making one. So I will stick to the picture by picture method. Sticks look like they turned out pretty good.

Great video Nepas! Better watch out or the food network is going to come looking for you. Looking forward to more!

I can see it now, Bobby Flay bustin' in the backyard while Nepa's smokin' fatties and jerky and yells "Are you ready for a throwdown"

Great job, NePa!!! So I haven't tried the encapsulated citric acid in my sticks before-- how much ECA per pound of meat mix do you use?

Thanks!

Thanks Ed

For 5 lbs 1.80 oz.
for 10 3.60 oz
25 lbs you need 9 oz. this is for smoked meat sticks ECA

For non smoked You use regular powdered CA. This would be like if you cooked them in the oven with the door open and the temp at 170* Some call powdered CA sour salt.

5 lbs, 0.40 oz
10 lbs 0.80 oz
25 lbs 2.00 oz

ECA and Powdered CA is opt in the sticks.
