I ordered some Beer Brat, Holly, & Dixie Seasoning to process my daughters moose she got this winter. I got a lot more to go but this is what I did this weekend.

I processed the Beer Brat with hog and fresh collagen casings to see the difference. We haven’t tried them yet as we tested the Holly and Dixie. I soak the hog casings for about 2.5 days in water in refrigerator. What a noticeable difference in look and performance. I got that tip from this f***m - thanks! The hog casings were silky white, no blow outs from stuffing and no blow outs from twisting.

We thought the Holly tasted like Jimmy Deans (wife and I prefer) and the Dixie was a mild tasting but the kids liked it the best.

We did some moose pastrami (dry cure) a few weeks ago and it was fabulous.

I love this site and appreciate the f***m’s help, ideas like soaking the casings for days instead of hours, and the pastrami idea.

Thank You!

Thanks everyone for the input. I pre-ordered the 20lb model.

The pork butt I find around here doesn’t have much fat cap on it so I always purchase additional fat to throw in. Someone mentioned in this community to cut all the fat out of the pork butt and weigh it individually so you can figure out the percentage.

Thanks for the update on the shipping and the electric stuffers. As I live in Alaska USPS has always been the cheapest and easiest to get stuff to me. I appreciate the quick response I got from Walton’s when I just put together the Electric stuffer this morning and the motor wouldn’t turn either direction. The replacement motor already shipped. Thanks for being a quality company!

Hey - How do I get Waltons to ship USPS to AK? I just called the other day and it was $65 for 3 packages of seasoning and casing. I mentioned to lady it would be great if they could ship USPS to AK. I ordered it and had to use a freight forwarding company so it will take much longer and a little more money (but not $65) to get here. Thanks

Yes, I lay them in a 7 gallon tote or other container, then place freezer paper on top, and then place another layer and so on. I put the tote on the freezer shelf or if it is cold enough I put the lid on and then into the back of truck with a tonneua cover.

yes, I have left out the smoke in the last batch of pepperoni sticks and just used the smoker to cook them. We didn’t notice much difference in taste.

A smaller diameter would be good to have. Meat sliders would be tasty

We had 160 straight ground and another 75-ish pounds of steaks and round roasts. It was 375# bone in on 4 quarters and ribs. This was a medium to large cow moose. I had to buy another freezer - lol.

I turned on my friends to the Holly seasoning and they tried to order some and it would have been $30 for shipping to Alaska. Did the USPS option go away? I ordered some about 6 months ago and it was $9 for shipping.

I also tried to use a freight forwarder out of Tacoma for the electric stuffer and was told they aren’t allowing that. Direct ship was $150 - I did it but it would be $25 for the freight forwarder cost to Anchorage.

Love the Walton products but it would great if it was easier and cheaper to get.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for responding. I might be ordering some from cover and all especially for my boating needs - pretty cool options.

What is everyone using for equipment covers? I would like a cover for my Waltons 20 lb electric stuffer, 10" slicer, and 50lb meat mixer. I’m currently using kitchen garbage bags but would like something a little better fitting.

Thanks

I contacted customer service about this and they said just to remove the spring on the air release and use it like that. When adding additional meat I had to reach in and push down the release to get air out. I wish they would just provide a larger diameter spring.

I would really like to know what orange and blue teams stand for!!! Then I will pick a color.

Shoot it is warmer in Alaska than ND!

I got the new motor yesterday and it works. Thanks for the fast followup. Can’t wait to try it out on some snack sticks in the next couple of weeks.

Does anyone know if the other products like the one shot grinder head or the tenderizer attachment from Waltons would fit the L*M? I have a 12 L*M grinder. Waltons products are a little more affordable and I like that the one shot is #12 plate vs #8 plate on the L*M.
