I worked for 3 years in Walton's Customer Service department, I have probably spoken with a good deal of people visiting this page in one way or another! I am now working on content creation for waltonsinc.com and meatgistics.com.
Im originally from upstate New York and before I worked here I had never made homemade Sausage before. Now I love processing and the satisfaction that comes from eating or serving a well made homemade Snack Stick, Summer Sausage, Bratwurst, etc.
I try to eat healthily and we will do some posts about healthy options here but I am not a fanatic about it, what is the use of eating healthy if you can't occasionally eat 1 or 2 Brats, okay fine 4 or 5!!?
Thank you for all you have done for this country and all you will be asked to do in the future! I have created the group US Veterans for anyone who wants to join, this way a badge will show on your posts. Sorry, we should have thought of creating this group years ago. We will have a 10% off coupon emailed to anyone who joins this group!
For everyone else, we rely on everyone’s honor to not claim something that isn’t yours.
So, you might have noticed Austin and I have not been on Meatgistics for a few days. That is because we were furiously working behind the scenes to get the new version of waltons.com (waltonsinc.com still works but as of now we are waltons.com!) and hoping to launch it today. Sadly, we had a few issues with payment processing so we are not going live today. Austin and I are looking at next Tuesday now so we can have everything perfect for it. If the payment processing gets fixed early enough today we MIGHT go live tomorrow, but in all likelihood, we will hold off until Tuesday.
Couple of new features of the new waltons.com will be A) you can use multiple coupons sometimes, 2 10% off coupons wont work, butif we have a free shirt or hat coupon and you want to use that with your 10% off you will be able to do so. B) infinite shopping lists. This means you could potentially create all the shopping lists you want for the entire year and then just go through and place the order as needed. C) Better connection to videos and meatgistics content. I am sure there are others but I need to get back and work on getting it live!
Well well well, here we are, not even in July and it looks like we are going to FINALLY beat a date and have our Vacuum Sealers, Vac Bags, Tables, Tenderizers, Scales, Lugs and Hog Ring Ring Pliers here! I am going to grab one of each as soon as they come in and start playing with them. I am fairly sure I can talk Austin into doing a live stream with me to celebrate and show them off at waltonsinc.com/live!
Here is the basics
PapaSop 2 vac sealers, 1 chambered 1 non chambered (another model coming later)
Hog Ring Pliers with comfortable handles and does a good job closing bags
Scale will weigh up to 600 lb and I think it has 2 modes, one for under 5 lb and one for over
3 different tenderizing things. 1 attaches to your grinder, 1 is a stand alone unit and 1 is a motor for that unit
2 different meat lugs, one larger and one smaller
Stainless Steel work tables
and then a bunch of different size bags!
Christmas in July!
Don’t you just hate it when someone goes from using 1 to two in the same document?!

Dylan and I did 75 lb of sausage today. 1 batch of the Salami with some dry red wine added, one of the Pepperoni and 1 of Habanero BBQ, each one was 25 lb. On all of them, we used the Bactoferm TSP-X Starter Culture. We stuffed them into Beef Middles and put them into our eller cabinet. We are going to check tomorrow to make sure we have achieved the needed pH drop and then we buckle in for the long wait!

Hey guys, we have created https://www.waltonsinc.com/more/waltons-events to have a calendar here of upcoming events for Walton’s/Meatgistics. I am working on how to get it to be a link at the top similar to Conversion Chart and Livestream but I am struggling on that. Might need to wait for Austin to get back for that one. But as of now it is showing bi-weekly Meatgistics Livestreams, Monthly Walton’s Livestreams and Podcast schedules. We will eventually fill in the calendar event with more information on the upcoming events but for now they are all just place holders.
Guys, just pointing out that I am deleting the @davidwang account. I don’t want to get into other companies using Meatgistics as a way to sell their products to our customers. Sales between you guys of used equipment is 100% fine though!
I want to point out something pretty awesome (at least in my mind) that happened. We now have more Meatgistics Users than we have Instagram or Twitter followers! Still down to the FBs but I will tell you this. 1 Meatgistics member is worth a whole lot more to me/us than a social media follower, so thanks guys!
Darn it, so it is not updated for people who are logged in. I will try a restart and rebuild tonight. Though my phone never actually reminds me of the reminders I set, so we will see if I do remember!
First, don’t deviate from the direction if you are trying to imitate lkrfletcher I tried one of his margarita concoctions twice, 1st time thought I was smart and tinkered and my god was it bad, 2nd time it was just right!
2nd, Rabbit Hole is about as good as the Elijah Craig, not AS good but about as good!
processhead Are you not seeing it or am I not understanding?
processhead Those make cleaning up so much easier, I love the one in our test kitchen. In fact, the 3 sinker we have in the test kitchen is probably my favorite thing to use in the test kitchen!
lkrfletcher It has been too long since I have done some homemade bacon. I might need to come up with a reason to make some for a video.
processhead we “should” be back tp normal. What happened was we were on an older version because the newest version wasn’t compatible with all of our upgrades so we were holding off. Well, they decided we were too slow and did it for us! Caused a little bit of panic here but the awesome people at NodeBB helped us out on the top categories and I was able to fix the votes and the pic stretching.
twilliams Still join us on Monday if you can for the live stream, we will have a few giveaways and stuff, so even if you can’t join in on the buying, you can still have some fun!
ND Mike Congratulations, I saw your order come through! Strong supporter of 
Start thinking of what you might want to see flash sales of on Monday. We will start the live stream around 2ish, maybe earlier. We’ve got a drawing for a nice giveaway, a few smaller giveaways, flash sales, and other stuff. BUT you have to do your jobs too, we need you guys to have some reasonable ideas of products you want to see on sale! Normally we do it either by time like something will be x% off for 30 minutes or the next something is on sale for the next 20 units.
Anyway, we will see you guys then!
PS we have something REALLY big cooking in the background, so if you’ve noticed that Austin and I haven’t been joining in much recently, rest assured, we are hard at work on something. You will all eventually find out what it is, hopefully it will make everyone (including us) happy!
ND Mike said in What are you hunting/fishing?:
Sleep will come easy tonight
Hope you got that good sleep!
bocephus It is good on everything I have tried it on so far, love that stuff!
