Trail Bologna

[classicrockgriller]

Did 25 lbs of Trail Bologna with a Lem Kit.

Did 60/40 beef to pork.

Instead of the Larger casings I stuffed them into 1lb and Hukki casings.

These 16 got started about 11 this morn.





I'll smoke these after the others are done.



I had bought a mixer a while back so I did the batches in 8 1/3 lbs each and mixed it in this.





Sausage is smoking and looking good.

[ADH]

Looking good. How do you like the mixer?

[Tenpoint5]

Good Looking mixer. Probably worked real well

[GusRobin]

I have a manual mixer that works pretty good. In fact I have two of them. Picture of one below.

I thought the mixer was junk the first batch. I still had to mix it by hand.

On the second batch I found out I just going the wrong way with the handle. ;D

It did great after that. Kinda a pain in butt to clean. I would not use it for 5 lbs.

[ADH]

My hands are not in that great of shape, looking for for an easier way... Can't wait to see the final pictures.

[Sailor]

I bet if you were doing 20 pounds it would be worth getting dirty.

I think that you will find that if you put too much in the mixer it will stick to the paddles and just spin and not mix. I have a a larger paddle mixer and that is what happens to it. I had to add interrupter bars to stop the meat from spinning. It mixes fine now and will do about 65 pounds at a time. This is one killer machine and would make OSHA crap. It takes quite a bit to clean. You might consider extending your interrupter bars all the way out to the center shaft. This is why I came up with the bucket mixer. It does every thing this one does and faster. and to get the meat out you just pick up the bucket and dump it.

If any one wants a killer mixer let me know.

here are some pictures of the cruncher. you guessed it break out the old drill.





the interrupters lift out of the way for getting the meat out. the paddles also come out.
