Hot dogs questions
Hi there, I am making hot dogs for the first time on Saturday. After I am done grinding, mixing, and stuffing can I move them over to the smoker right away? Will they be fully cured? I was going to start with 100 degree heat to dry them then smoke them 1-2 hours. I will then finish them in a 165 deg...

Vacuum sealer
I have had a food saver vacuum sealer for a few years now and I was thinking about upgrading to a chamber style. The food saver works but it does not always give me a good vacuum and you have to get the bags just right for it to vacuum. It also does poor with anything that has liquid in it like raw ...

Thawing time?
I was going to thaw about 36 pounds of meat for sausage making in the fridge. The meat is vacuum sealed in individual 2.5 lb bags. How long will this take to thaw? Will it make a difference that it is not frozen in 10 lb blocks for time to thaw?

Tasso, I use Syracuse casing company for all my hog casings, they are 100% from America, and they offer 24 hour support for any questions you have. I am very happy with the end result. I use the pre flushed tubed, which are so simple to use, just wash salt off with warm water, soak in warm water for...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Ray the casings I used are from Syracuse casing company. I am very happy with them. They are pre flushed and tubed. All you have to do is rinse the salt off with tap water, soak them in warm water and then slide the tube on the horn. One other thing, they stink bad s...

I have to give out a huge thanks to Chuckwagon who was very patient with me about asking so many questions!! We are very lucky to have someone who has so mu...
