5. In the morning, pull the marinated pork pieces out of the refrigerator and grind them using a medium plate. Rebag and put back in the refrigerator for two hours or the freezer for 1 hour.
6. Grind a second time using a small plate. Mix briefly with your hand to distribute the spices but not enough to let the fat get greasy. If need be, refrigerate further. This is important to the final texture.
7. Prepare the casings per instructions on the package and load the stuffer horn, tying off the end. Poke a small hole in the casing to help release any air bubbles.
8. Stuff the casings. Do not stuff the casing tightly. Save some room to twist into links.
9. Twist into 6-inch links. Poke small holes in the links to release any air bubbles that may swell during smoking.
