I’d think you could use the non-edible collagen as well but I have never done that. If you stuff them and then cook them just make sure you turn it a few times during the cooking process.

We actually lined the pans with plastic wrap to allow the loaf to easily come out. I am with you though and have had aluminum do weird things with certain foods before after it sits in it for a while. I think the plastic wrap is a must.

We have the imitation bacon unit and the Imitation Bacon #2. THe only difference is the one that is #2 is for 10 ln (and has the cure mixed in) and the regular one (without the #2) does 25 lb and comes with the cure but it is no mixed in.

We had a meat making party this weekend. Made 25 lb venison sticks, 30 lb venison bacon, 30 lb italian pork sausage, 20 lb soppressata and 10 lb of spanish chorizo. Oh and 40 lb of venison ring bologna (that was an old family recipe not using Walton’s). We had about 75 lb of chunked venison to start. We got a half hog from the butcher because it was cheaper than buying shoulders and belly (belly is $5/lb!). The amount was perfect! We only had a roast from the hind quarter and ribs left over to freeze.

For the bacon I found a kit online at another vendor. I would love it if Walton’s had one and if someone knows please let me know for the next time. I used 3 kits, each for 10 lb. My meat block for each was 6 lb of venison and 4 lb of pork belly. We ground it once and mixed by hand for a while until it was pretty sticky. Packed in 13x9x2 aluminum cake pans. Let it set overnight. Smoked the bacon on a pellet grill the next day and put back in cake pans and refrigerated overnight. Next day sliced it all up.

It turned out great! Plenty of fat and so good. Beats the fake turkey bacon by far.

Lined a bread pan with plastic wrap. Pressed half of the venison in the bottom. Pork on top of that. Other half of venison on top. Pressed it right with a second pan.
Smoked at 120 for an hour. 145 for 2 hours. 175 until internal temp was 160, about 7 hours total.
