Cue the crickets

I had my heart set on making spicey snack sticks today. I checked the UPS tracking number and it said it was in my town and in transist so I went ahead and mixed everything up anticipating arrival of my casings and small stuffing tube. NOT! Didn't happen. Checked the tracking number again and it said 'tendered to local post office.' So now BOTH the mailman and UPS left me hanging.

Everything back in the fridge until tomorrow...........

Sure was looking forward to smoking those spicey snack sticks today!

Bummer Ron. I'm not sure who's worse - FedEx, UPS or USPS. I've been through a couple of these "hand offs". The tracking info is pretty much useless.

Sorry Ron,

But your ready now! ;D

That bites, If you ordered the 3/8" SS stuffing tube from Lem Have your heat Gun ready to get the sticker off the tube, then I had to use wd40 to get the sticky stuff off and wash it in soap and water, gotta hate those stickers. Can't wait to see them stix :)

Is that not the truth.....holy cow I tried to pull that label off and said.....HONEY.....I need help....can you get this off I have to go to the store. I came home and she had it all nice and shiny. I did not ask how she did it. I'm thinking she used the mommy spit. You know that will take anything of anything. Lucky the kids still have their faces. ;D

I ordered it from Sausage Maker Inc. It comes with three. Small, medium, and large.

Ron,
Why not just run the mix through the smallest tube you have and make some skinless snack stixs. Just run them onto some wax paper so the paper will slide on the counter. Then transfer to your racks and smoke them up. Not sure if you have the frog mats or not but you should have no problem doing them like that if your in a pinch.

Mine only came with one tube and it is almost too big to stab hog casings on.

I don't think those have the stickers on them. ;D

That was embarrassing when Momma pulled out a "Used" tissue

out of the bottom of her purse and spit on it and wash your face

in front of everybody. ;D Momma's Care!

ronbeaux · November 30, 2010, 05:55:16 PM

Yikes, I just remembered. My Mom is 75. SUPER SPIT!

ronbeaux · December 01, 2010, 02:43:20 PM

Hurraww!! The tubes and the casing showed up on the back of a camel today and I put it to use. NOW it's going to be a long night!

The stuffing was surprisingly easy!

Don't rag me about the stack job in the OBS. I need to get me some hanging rods I guess.........

They went in at 110 and I'm holding it for an hour before kicking on the smoke. Maple and hickory mix.
