    Sausage Casing Questions...

    Thanks all. Goat, I am stuffing them into the only thing I could find, which was these casings; so we will see how that turns out. I'm not even sure how big they are, but I guess it will be a cross between a Slim Jim and a real summer... Pete

    Sausage Casing Questions...

    Another question - how do I seal the ends? Can I just twist them, or do I need to tie them off or something else? Thanks, Pete

    Venison Loins - any suggestions?

And it is a loin/backstrap that I am using, not a tenderloin (although I often use the terms interchangeably to refer...

    Venison Loins - any suggestions?

    Hi folks, I have some tenderloins that I plan on smoking this week, just got my new MECO electric, and wanted to run my plans by you all to see if you had any suggestions - this is my first smoke by the way so I'm trying to keep it simple... Anyway, I was planning on marinating them overnight...
