Really nice Curt, great presentation too, they really look great...

Those look awesome.  I'm going to try some soon.  If you don't mink my asking, what size/type casing did you use and what size stuffer tube?  The smallest tube I have is 1/2 inch.  I'm thinking I need a smaller one.
Thanks,
Tim

Wow, Curt.

You've given me NEW inspiration to make some stix!

Those came out great!

Question: coarse ground (6mm) versus fine ground (<4mm) the meats for stix? personal preference?

I do the coarse grind with a 10MM plate (3/8") and fine grind is a 6MM plate (1/4")

The 4MM is a 3/16" plate, I use that one for doin hot dogs.  ;D
