16lbs worth. 81 total links (well, 80, dog snagged one when I wasn’t looking). Chudd’s BBQ recipe, just doubled and used an 8lb eye round instead of brisket since that’s what I had on hand. Still a nice fatty piece of meat and it turned out awesome! High temp cheddar and casing came from Walton’s.

Well done!
Very nice 👍🏿. What temp and for how long?
Where did you get the casings?
I posted on mobile and it seems that the image comments I made aren’t showing up on desktop. Started with 16lbs of meet, 8lbs pork shoulder, 8lbs eye round, both bought from the local BJ’s Wholesale Club. Used Chudd’s Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage recipe, just doubled. Didn’t want to splurge on brisket since it’s more expensive in my area (NE) than the beef I used but what I got was definitely fatty enough to use as a replacement.
Came out great. 81 total links (actually 80, dog snagged one off the counter when I wasn’t looking, the prick). I plan on giving some to neighbors that also share their smoked meats with me and vac-sealing and freezing the rest for meals through the winter.
Meat grinder is a KitchenAid attachment that I bought during their Father’s Day sale. High Temp Cheddar and Natural Casings came from Waltons.com.
Looks perfect
