Pepper & Garlic sounds great, and Buffalo Wing sounds like fun.

Like Joe Hell, I also use a bottle brush and pan fry up whatever is left in the stuffer and tube. If I don’t use it right then, I pop it in the fridge for breakfast or something.

I’m strongly thinking about a PK 100, and I was wondering about that. I’ve seen the same thing with electric smokers that are basically ovens that also generate a bit of smoke from chips or sawdust. One thing that is for certain is that, since the PK 100 does not depend on wood combustion for heat, you aren’t getting all that NO2 that you normally get from the wood combustion, and it’s that NO2 that creates the smoke ring. I’m sure you get a little, but not nearly as much as you get from a stick burner, pellet cooker, or even charcoal.

You still get plenty of the other smoke goodies from the sawdust, so that’s why the flavor and outside color still work out.

It’s fantastic. I just got mine earlier this week, and I used it yesterday to stuff a 5# batch. I nearly dropped to my knees and shouted “HALLELUJAH!”

I had been using the grinder for stuffing. The difference between that and the stuffer is like the difference between using a manual screwdriver and a drill. I’ll never miss the money I spent on this stuffer.

I’m also glad I got the 11# one. It’s not oversized for a 5# batch, but it gives me the option to do 10# or so without having to reload…
