99 bucks, anyone have one? Plus since it is a #12 (I was in the Northern tool store and had the box open) I noticed it looked like a standard grinding plate that could probably use other larger plate holes. Largest one was too small. I also can get 20 bucks off that price also. 79 plus tax. What do ...

Just one of those rant days. Originally from Buffalo NY (7 years ago) was going to buy some sheep casings while up there at the Sausage Maker. Price is out of sight. 54 bucks for 20-22 mm casings. OK so I bring back with me 10 lbs of Sahlens Natural Sheep Casing hot dogs. Here in Buffalo this is the...

Oh Yeah, We WILL be doing this differently next time guys. Hell got up at 6;30 and finally got sausage in smoker at 12 noon. Wife not happy, had kitchen for 5 hours. Packed 25 lbs and it will take 2 batches in smoker. Made it to take up back to Buffalo with me. My 3 sons love this stuff, the hotter ...

Hit the wall fellas, Making pepper snacks and using a #10 hand grinder for stuffing. Made hundreds of lbs of polish in 32-38 mm casings with no problems. Having a lot of problems right now with this project. Did it once before and had no problems stuffing the calogen casings. TODAY it is a problem. ...

Ray, I think the bacon is going to be my next project. Going to try it with a pork butt. Haven't a clue where to get pork bellies down here in Florida and I do not want to buy a 40 lb case. This is the restaurant capital of the world, (Gulf Coast Florida) NOBODY cooks, lol Going up north for a month...

Super Ray, Some really good looking settings Ray, Glad You liked the chicken. Is that bacon your own homemade? That's a breakfast fit for a king. Thanks for sharing, Fred

Thanks Ray, Let me know how the chicken turns out. Best I ever had if followed the way the guy did in the video. Have a good one, Fred

Now for a Ross homemade bread / roll or a Bob K rye bread............................... Guess what we are having for lunch today, Ross I do not have any lard so I just winged it. Cut off stings while still hot. Just wonder if bacon fat would work? Boneless pork loins were $1.50 a pound roughly a 40...

Just got done, 13 hours later, had to slice off and end Chuckwagon. Just a little too salty BUT it will be noted, still wife likes it and so do I. It IS hot with all that pepper but it should be superb in a sandwich on rye bread or frying right next to a couple of eggs. Really came out excellent. Ju...

Yeah Ray I rolled it, The only thing with the chicken was I did not use olive oil, I used straight peanut oil and threw some fresh parsley sprigs with the ham and cheese. I really kept together well. We liked it. just don't overcook it like I have done before, Our guests thought it was excellent. Go...

Well we are underway, just went in. Too much pepper Chuck wagon ?

Got It!! Thanks To ALL, I'M on a mission Friday, LOL
Fred

Gotcha, I do not have the stockinette so I will use the butchers string. Thank You CW and Ray, I really appreciate ALL Your help.. Got company coming over in a couple of days and besides breakfast I want to make some Chicken Cordon Bleu with a couple of pieces of CB in it instead of ham. Got a recip...

Thanks CW, OK how about this option, I am using an electric Brinkman but modified. How about just laying the loins on the chrome grating as is? I have 2 grates and would just sit there like a piece of smoked fish.

Thanks CW, Much appreciated,
Fred

Thanks again fellas but another question popped up. I see the stockinette and the butcher twine used to keep the product supported. I will be using butcher string for my 4 pieces of Canadian bacon. The Kutas book mentions to soak the stockinette in vinegar for easy removal of supporting method upon ...
