Summer Sausage and Snack Stix

I got a Cabelas 1 HP grinder for Christmas. Why is it a pain? I have all the different size stuffing tubes?

I have a cabelas commercial grinder.  It just is.......Even with the high speed auger, it will turn your snack sticks into mush.  Your crushed red pepper and hi temp cheese will be unevenly distributed if not left left behind.  If you add your seasoning and cure to the cubed meat and grind it directly into the casing then you might have a better time.

I'm just finishing my first batch of snack sticks. How do you get it to have that nice shriveled look? The flavor of mine is good just doesn't look as professional. I used 19mm collagen casings from cabelas if that makes a difference.

when sausage reaches finished temp remove from smoker Do not give them a cold water bath just let them cool to room temp i just set them on the counter for a couple hours
