What shot size do you use for lentils? I always thought anything over 7 1/2 leaves a mushy mess.
My latest freezer cleaner:
18 lbs Elk
6 lbs pork trimmings
1 cup Morton Tender Quick
6 T salt (was a bit much, probably cut that back to 3 next time)
9 T pepper
9 T garlic powder
3 T sugar
Run through grinder, let cure for 4 days, stuffed in natural pork casings, smoked for 8 h at 1
