Weekly Blog Post - 13 Days of Christmas and New Years

Find out what's going on at Walton's and Meatgistics this week. We will have a loose schedule for soon to be released videos, what we are working on long-term and maybe a few quick tips and tricks that are on our mind!

What Videos are being released soon?

We are currently working on Meatgistics University Seasoning and Additives 201: Deer and Wild Game Rinse that will go over the science behind this product and hopefully it will have a pretty cool visual to show you guys the difference between using this and not. It is something I would 100% recommend for anyone who is processing their own deer, elk or whatever at home. Even if the animal has no smell when you are processing it you just never know what is in there so it helps to be safe.

What Projects are we looking ahead at?

Our New Year Sales video is always a favorite of mine to shoot and to watch. We try to make it fun but the best part of the video always ends up being the bloopers from this year that we put at the end. As Austin wasn’t able to take part in as many videos this year the vast majority of the bloopers are me being either stupid or angry at myself!

What’s on our Mind?

My diet has been slipping the last couple of weeks (months) and I think it is the Holidays but I’ve cleaned up my diet in the last 3-4 days and I already feel so much better. This is really a great example of the old saying “you are what you eat”, I have more energy, I’m thinking more clearly and my sleep and workouts have seen a serious improvement. I am going to try to keep this going through the Holidays so I can hit the ground running in the New Year!

I’d recommend anyone who wants to take a look at an excellent example of how to take your homemade sausage making to the next level read I’ve never been a big fan of cheese pizza… by Joe Hell. He took Excalibur’s already excellent Supreme Pizza Bratwurst and made some serious “Foody” additions to it. All around an excellent post and it made me very hungry!

Also, I know we are getting to a point in the year where lots of people are adding things to Christmas lists for the family. For anyone looking to take on the project of building your own walk-in cooler check out this post that has some good pictures and some instructions by both Parksider and 1general.

New Products

Walton’s 12 and 8.7-inch meat slicers are almost here. As soon as we get these new items in stock we will test them out and make them live on the website. Our hope is that these will be a good economy plus style grinder that will allow everyone to make deli meats at home. We are also probably going to do something with one of them during the livestream on the 17th. The current plan for that is to start it a 2 pm (CST) and go until you guys don’t have anymore questions.
