I love the lazy Susan for rolling your sticks up on [loved it] Is the corn holder to prick the air out of the casings?? I think my stuffer bell will eliminate that.
Looks good so far. My wife spotted your coffee packet tree and says you must be running on too much caffeine.

What did you stuff these in. sheep gut or synthetic casings? They look good. Is this your own blend of spices?

Those are 19mm smoked collagen casings. I normally make my own mix but this batch was a pack of bass pro uncle bucks mix for 5 lbs. I added 1.5 T of smoked paprika and 4.5 T of ECA

The finished product looks killer Nepas. Its pooring rain here pretty good so I think my Land Jaegars will have to wait till next weekend. Went to the Butcher this mornin and got all the meat but I think I'll have to freeze it. The new Bradley is still in the box in the Garage but I'm thinkin about busting it open. I'm having a 13' X 13' Aluminum awning put up on one of my small decks this week so no more rain excuses after that.

Ain't that funny Nepas has "Got an SRG in the box"
