[NePaSmoKer]

Made up 5 more pounds of stick tonight for the long haul south, west, north and back east.

Made honey/pepper



Ok here goes  :D

I hear ya say......But you said a stuffer is better for stuffin than a grinder?

Ya

Unless you got the right tools to make your grinder into a good stuffer  ;D........Just when ya think ya have me figured out  :D  ;D


Cyclone stuffer auger, needle tube (back), flange, stomper, grinder auger, neck, neck nut and foot switch for grinder. You dont need the plate or blade.




Ready for stuffing  ;D

NaPas, you're having way to much fun with the new toys.

Keep it up!!

See, that aint so bad now is it. That's how I stuff my sausages all the time and I love it. Those grinders are an easy stuffer when you get that foot switch.

[NePaSmoKer]

Got the sticks done and blooming now, cut up later tonight and seal.



The wrinkles give em character   ;D

Ready for a fridge rest.

I have 5lbs mixed and ready to stuff in the morning but have a question. What does blooming do and how long should they bloom?
thanks

[KevinG]

After you cool the sausage with cold water, you allow it to dry at room temperature. The longer you let it sit, the darker brown color it will attain. Two or three hours should be plenty of time.

The "slim jims" came out great(may have been a tad dry compared to store bought). Used 85/15 gb. I smoked 3hrs 150/3-155/3-160/3ish-165 to get to 152deg then cooled and bloomed. Does 12ish hours seem right on total time? Used the Auber temp probe for IT.

Where did you get your smoke box?  This might solve my cold smoking problem....
