Yeah, but I bet he has a lot more mice than I do!  The copperheads, water moccasins, coral snakes and timber rattlers keep our mice population down to almost undetectable levels!  Just wish they would kill more squirrels!

LOL! Hanging from the side of the garage wall, I'm not sure mice could get up to my SRM-1000.

Daddy's got a new friend!

But, dang is this thing big!  Now, I'm thinking I should have gotten the 7lb'er!  I'm going to have to store this beast in my garage!

Can't wait to git started! 

How do I figure out how to apportion out the snack stick mix and sure cure and sure gel?  That seems like the only complicated part to this.

That's a beaut! No bugs up here in the winter. Plus winter in the North is a great time to do cold smoking. With temps around zero today, and wind chills below -20, I'm trying to find positive reasons I live in this god-forsaken place. Suffering with 2 months or so of extremes reaps it rewards I guess for the rest of the year, which is awesome.

Trust me, you won't regret getting the 11 pounder. :)

I just use a calculator and my trusty scale that I use to weigh my wood.

I actually just quick whipped up a Seasoning Calculator in Excel that you may find helpful. I might try to make this a little more pretty and then create its own post, but hopefully this will help for now.

That looks interesting.  I can't see inside the cells on my iPad but will fire up the laptop in the morning to check it out more thoroughly.  That looks like it will help me make it easier!  Thank you!

I literally just finished washing the tank, the 12mm nipple and nut.  I dropped the plunger all the way down but it couldn't come out of the machine after it dropped.  Do I just unscrew that screw on the disk head to remove it and leave the notched bar in?  Also, I was planning on removing the gasket before cleaning.  Should I clean that also and then re-apply a light coat of white oil on it or leave the white oil off until I'm done stuffing?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get into this, Greg!  I wasn't feeling to good today so I'm going to wait to see how I feel in the morning before I decide if I'm going to prep a batch tomorrow night to smoke on Sunday.  This is the perfect weekend though with the temp already low.

Thanks for all of your help and everyone else!

I think you'll have to download the spreadsheet to modify it.

You unscrew the piston and then turn the screw down into the tube to store it.

I put the oil on the gasket before stuffing. You can oil the gears before and after stuffing/cleaning.

You lost me on removing the plunger from the housing body?

But that's another good point, how do you get to the gears?

Also, is there a reason not to use vegetable oil on the gasket?

I figured out it unscrews!  LOL. Did I mention that I'm not hitting on all cylinders today?
