    We had some Willies that we didn’t stuff into sticks because we were rushed for time (last February). We put it in 1 lb bags for fry patties. It was 50% deer 50% pork butts with sure gel and smoked meat stabilizer. I’m thinking about thawing out the packages I have and stuffing into sticks now. I should be alright to do this shouldn’t I?

        ND Mike Try it, as long as you can stuff it it will be fine
        I have stuffed summer sausage (larger diameter helped) after overnight with sure gel but not after freezing
        Please let us know the results, stuffing, taste, texture

              Couldnt you run it thru a grinder one last time before stuffing and mix a small amt of water to the grind

                samspade it is all ground and was ready to stuff. I would probably just add a bit if water too it and try stuffing it.

                  ND Mike I would think it’ll work like craigrice said might be hard to stuff maybe add a little water just to make it stuffable? Hope things work

                    ND Mike if you have a jerky shooter that basically looks like an overgrown caulk gun that would be better. You may stress out the gears on your stuffer. My stuffing tube fits my caulk gun

                          Departing Contestant thatbis what we were doing with it. It is quite a bit spicier when in patty form and not smoked. My kids don’t like it…hahahah! I think it’s good.

                              ND Mike Hey Mike, I’ve done it successfully before. What I did is thaw and put in the kitchenaid mixer just to insure proper protein extraction (sticky) and adjusted the water IF NEEDED (and it wasn’t).

                                    Ok guys. Today was the day. I thawed out all the packages (8lbs) of Willies. I put it in a big mixing bowl and added about a cup of ice cold water. I hand mixed until it was very tacky. I then loaded the stuffer and gave it a shot. It stuffed very easily. I then loaded it into my newly acquired Smokin Tex 1400 smoker. Forgot to take a picture. Cooked at 125 for an hour. Added smoking wood and bumped up the temp to 150 for 2 hours. I then checked the temp and the sticks were at 132. I went in to check the temperature on the electric roasting oven. The water was at 160. I bumped the temp up a bit and went to grab the sticks. In the time I was messing around inside the temp had dropped in the smoker. I think the element went out. Put the sticks in the roaster and they were done in about 50 minutes. I was impressed with the results since it was previously frozen.

                                          YUMMY!!! What size casing are those ND Mike ? I like the 19mm but it does not fit well on my 19mm horn so I was thinking of bumping to 21mm
