    Source for Natural Hog Casings

    I have been using sausage maker's hog casings from Amazon. They are ok, but can be short pieces. They also have a tendency to burst. Anyone have a better casing/source? Which brand do you prefer? I don't have a local butcher, so I need something I can have shipped.

    Making rub vs store bought

    pork but foiling question

    Next time use a fat seperator before you pour the juice back onto the meat. This will remove the excess fat. However, the juice will still jell. As the connective tissue breaks down under slow cooking, it turns to gelatin. That is the same stuff that makes jello. Gelatin is good suff in meat...
