I use my own cheese. I have a cuber that cuts 1/4 x 1/4" squares. This cheese is Monterey Jack.

Depending on how tight you stuff the rounds you should get 4 rings per 5lbs of meat. I am using 73/27 GB on these rings because 2 are for my neighbor and he likes the fat  :-\

Starting out at 130* to dry the casing and PID thru 175* This should take the rings about 8-13 hours depending on outside temps.




I ring the open end and tie just under the ring just in case the string slides up the casing.



These 4 are ready for the fridge hotel and smoke tomorrow  ;D

Sure Lumpy, Here ya go.

This is the parts of the cuber.



The cutters, they are fixed fast.



This is the bottom of the pusher i call it.



Sits in the bottom and the black plastic clips lock it in.









With the top locked in. You just open it up, place your item on the bottom and push it down and the cutter head makes the cubes.

Looks great Nepas. As soon as it cools down some around here I am going to be making more sausage myself. Just scored some ground venison from the Stepfather.

Bambi or Bellies let me know. If you want to do the non resident thing and get your own, I can find some places to do some hunting
