Newbie help please

[gotguns]

Hello everyone and thank you for your help. I am going to me making snack sticks today for the first time. I watched the Walton video and it said to add 10lbs of pork butt untrimmed, one bag of seasoning, pink cure, and citric acid. On the bag it says it is for 25lbs of meat. So I am just trying to figure out what weight it is? Please help I just don’t want to botch a batch.

Give small batch breakdown in weight and measure, good luck

I have tons of meat to do. 50 already to go. The video confused me. It showed the recipe for 10 lbs of meat to one full bag of seasoning. The bags says 25lbs of meat.

Can’t explain the one bag for 10lbs but if you find your seasoning on the chart I linked to above it will give you the proper ratios

[twilliams]

What other meat are you using with it? Venison? Beef? Typically you want to have around a 70/30 ratio. So 70% venison to 30% untrimmed pork. So 17.5 lbs venison and 7.5 lbs pork for a 25lb batch. I like going 50/50 myself

Perfect I got it figured out now. Thank you all so much for the help

gotguns your pic failed to upload. Too large of file i believe. Problem i have had in the past

[cdavis]

twilliams I also have trouble loading pictures. Can you explain how to do it.

[twilliams]

cdavis you need to go in and crop it to make it a smaller file size i believe. That is the root problem, file is too large

[cdavis]

twilliams thanks for the reply. I’m very technically challenged but I’ll see if I can figure out how to do that.

Another option I use. App called Photo and Picture Resizer. Pretty simple to use.

[gotguns]

I’ll try it because I tried resizing the pics and still didn’t work. I just wanted to post pics. I was pretty proud of my first batch. They turned out amazing.
