BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Looks good from where I'm sitting!Forgot to post the finished product
Was pretty good. Should have used the Texas crutch... was just a tad on the dry side.

Smoked two 8.5 pound pork butts yesterday for a friends wedding. Both in the smoker at 6:30am. Took the first one off the pit 4:00pm. Second butt didn't come off till almost 6:30pm. Perfect example that all butts react differently.
I literally just ate breakfast and I could absolutely crush everything on that tray right now!
Turning a bunch of ground elk into summer sausage.
I need a stuffer like that! I can't justify the cost when I usually do less that about 15 summer sausages at a time. Would be a lot easy than the hand stuffing that I do now. I use my grinder to stuff meat sticks. Summer sausage looks great!Turning a bunch of ground elk into summer sausage.
It was only like $150. Now I can do brats, snack sticks, and all sorts of meat candy. Totally worth it IMO
Here's a pic of the finished product. Didn't realize until after the fact you're supposed to spray them down with hot water as you pull them out so they don't shrivel up but they still taste great.

I ice bath mine to stop them from cooking any further and it helps the shriveling. You’re right though, shriveled casings have zero effect on taste.
I did another batch yesterday and sprayed with hot water. It reduced the shriveling a ton. I didn't snap any pics, but in two days I managed to pump out 54lbs of summer sausage with zero help and zero prior experience. Originally I was thinking I can make this last a good amount of time, but as of last night one log is almost all gone
I have never heard of spraying with hot water. I always put mine right into an ice bath to stop the cooking and help with the shrivel of the casing. Like said, the shrivel doesn't affect the taste at all.Here's a pic of the finished product.

Google said to spray with hot water and it worked to a certain degree. I will try the ice bath next time since I trust y'all more than Google. Now I need to find bratwurst, italian sausage, and snack stick recipes. Sausage making is turning into a new addiction

The music playing over him talking is annoying but it's a great base recipe. Got to love using pork belly. Also https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAVegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw1Q2Qy8pNQJQX5MbMpDZGsY. Good luck
I have a snack stick recipe I'll share with you. Let me know if you want to try it.
Yes please!
