Trail Bologna

[pikeman_95]

Our house is starting to tilt in the direction of my equipment storage. I need to move it to the other side of the house and the weight of her clothes closet will equal it out.

I did a semi pre mix before I add my seasoning and cure so that it didn't get too stiff

before everything got mixed good. And you are right sometimes you get two groups of

meat going around. I just reversed the flow a couple turns and took off again in the proper

direction. I for one would love to have a mixer liker you make, I just not too good at making things.

I've got a mixer like CRG but mine must be larger 'cause 8 lbs hardly covers the bottom.    We've done larger batches of about 25 lbs at a time.    We've got a motor attached to it.   That's the way to go IMO.   Put in the meat, spices and water and walk away and do something else.    It'll mix away and does a good job.    With the hand crank, which we still have, my arms would get real tired before the mixing is done.   As CRG said, it's a real pain to clean.    For that reason I use a Bosch mixer when I do smaller batches.

When i work in camping at Cabelas i bought a mixer, did 10 lbs and noticed there were brass shavings in the meat on each end of the mixer from the brass bushings. Tossed the meat and took the mixer back. Been hesitant to get another from anywhere.

This one is a 17lb capacity and it came with a plexiglas lid.

My Arm didn't get too tired, I made Son do most of the turning.

I have a 3/4 hp drill I might try and see if that works. I did use

food grade grease on the bushings and next time it will get a shot

of silicone before the meat gets mixed.

Nice looking pile of meat, how'd they taste?

[hal4uk]

Dang!  That does look tasty!  What's the verdict?

[classicrockgriller]

Think they are perfect for a cracker and other goodies.

Did 3 hours of smoke and still not getting enough smokie taste.

There are only 14 in the finish pics. (smoked 16 the first time)

Son's took two to the Deer Camp last nite with them.

They called this morning and said they ate one on the drive up

there and they loved it.
