Hi Ramon, I used 25g of celery powder as an experiment to see if it would inhibit green-mould growth due to our damp English weather. The batch of chorizo in the video came out perfect in otherwise imperfect conditions. I would recommend half the celery powder amount for chorizo made in warmer climates. The celery powder does become a noticeable flavour (not unpleasant) when using 25g. Your suggestion of 3g per kilo is accurate as long as the salt levels are 2 percent and above. Celery powder is not necessary at 3 percent salt, it would just add an umami background. Celery is just a nitrate substitute which traditionally was never used. Salt does a perfect job of curing when the curing conditions are ideal. I now cold smoke all my chorizo three days after making, this also inhibits bad mould. 👍🏻

Thank you 🌻

Hi Mario, the smoke temperature stays a few degrees below ambient at all times because of wind chill factor in the short delivery/outlet pipe (ie: if your outside temperature is 20 the smoke will be 16 depending on the length of the smoke delivery/outlet pipe)

Thank you. I saw everything about it on the internet. If it is as you say, then your design is the best. I will contact you soon and let you know if this is indeed the case@@GrantWyness

what about wood chips hanging in your structure? @@GrantWyness

Hi Andrew, I don’t remember the castors exactly, but I can point you in a good direction - www.bilgroup.co.uk/product/polyurethane-cast-iron-stem-swivel-braked-castor-35mm-100kg-load/ Go to Bil castors and look at their braked swivel castors, the ones with a fixed bolt for preference. Choose a braked castor that has a loading at or above 100kg. Polyurethane tyres with cast iron wheels on ball bearing races are the bogs dollocks. The castor can be chosen to suit your height, keeping in mind a 35mm wheel (58mm total height) will be harder to push around than a 100mm total height castor, but of course the latter may take the lathe centre height above what is comfortable to use. I have used Bil castors for years and they are by far the best value available in the UK…also check out their ‘sale’ section for bargains. Have fun 👍🏻

Hi Grant thank you so much for taking the time to reply, it is greatly appreciated. Given I’m rather tall (6’ 4”) I was planning to higher the lathe anyway, so the castors will probably be enough. So I shall get 5 of them ordered. I certainly hope to have fun learning what to do!

@@andrewfitzmaurice7843 If you are running a three phase motor and want some VFD (250v - 380v) advice, I have a video on my channel that might help. 👍🏻

I will take a look, it does have a Newton Tesla inverter, but have to confess I don’t have a clue about this side of things, I just know it works from a 13 amp plug!

@@andrewfitzmaurice7843 The Newton Tesla units are good, so things should be just fine

Thank you for those kind words 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for words, enjoy the build👍🏻

It only needs three to get it off the ground. I give a few more so it can be pushed around like a loon to show it off

@@GrantWyness just being obtuse! I understand 😜

Keith, it’s a short, the full vid is on CZcams 👌🏻

@@GrantWyness Got it ,👍❤️

Hi Anthony, follow the link to the full video 👍🏻

​@@GrantWyness Let us know how this format works out for you

​@Hydrasam yeah it's a really dumb format, I'm for sure never going to click any links of this kind.

Kind words, thank you 👍🏻

Thank you kind Neptune!

Tin plated cast iron - the blade and disc are stainless 👍🏻

@@GrantWyness thanks for the reply. How do you manage the tin plated cast iron? Let’s say it lots it’s Tin coating (not sure if that’s even safe when it mixies into the meat) and now the cast iron oxidizes. Thanks.

Don’t know sorry

True. I opted for the rust to do the work of preservation - once fully covered they should last a century…not if you live by the sea though

It has worked for twenty years for our family and a hundred other users via this video have used it successfully. It works if you use it right

Hi, the temp was about 10 degrees C

Hi J, send me photos of the device and I will have a look. Email is on my CZcams ’about’ page.

Thank you Grant will do.@@GrantWyness

Fab comment 👍🏻 You are absolutely right, alignment should without fuss - this prototype was ugly in construction and has now been beautified.

Hi Manuel, as yet I haven’t had your experience. It suggests the element responsible for melting the solder is working in your machine, but the vacuum is not removing the waste solder fast enough from the front part of the gun into the collection chamber. I can only think it might be a filter restriction/blockage in the hose. Remove any hose filter and try that. Best of luck👍🏻

Thanks @@GrantWyness

Olá, sim, você pode moer frango no nº 22, mas você pode querer um motor de elevação maior se estiver moendo muitos ossos da perna. Feliz moagem...

You are correct. Ozone is not human friendly, but the science of yesteryear said otherwise…

No, the bugs are minimal here 👌🏻

Unfortunately, the liquid is fabulously poisonous. 💀

Hi, there isn’t a danger from worn metal, the arcing/sparks don’t interact negatively with conductors only people 😁

Hi thanks for reply but I did not understand what you meant!@@GrantWyness
