I had to stop and clean stringy stuff from the plates every so often which slowed the process down a bit. My wife now has a KA, a step larger than my mom's. Not sure if it'll fare better or if it'll even accept the same attachment. If so, that might be worth a shot. Where do you get casing from a butcher or do you strictly use cello to form until cooking?
BTW, thanks for helping bring a n00b like me up to speed. Any rub recommendations for my pork? This will be my first attempt with swine. So far I've done 5 chuck roasts and a brisket, which think was only a flat. Obviously, I'm still learning. Any IT (for pulled pork), and/or minimum rest recommendations? If I start them tonight they could be ready for dinner tomorrow depending on how quick/slow they go.
Thanks again guys.

I've used two online vendors for casing. But a local butcher would work, too.
Here is one

I can't remember the other but both are good quality. I'll try an remember to check the other when I get home and post here.
I have a "sweet rub" for pork that I like on smoked butt/shoulder. I'll post that one up, too
