Anyone use them? I am thinking of picking up a set of hog ring plyers for crimping 2" dia. andouille links. Any suggestions on brands and size hog rings?
That's one I haven't seen before.
aluminum electric fence wire...
Hmmm...how do you use the wire? like a twist tie? I can get aluminum MIG wire from my Aluminum boat building buddy.
I use butchers twine or aluminum electric fence wire...
That's a new one to me, but it actually sounds like a good idea. No reason you can't reuse that either

MIG wire is pretty hard... so it will push through a sleeved cable... fence wire is pretty soft so you can wind it around the casing and bend it... cheap too...Hmmm...how do you use the wire? like a twist tie? I can get aluminum MIG wire from my Aluminum boat building buddy.

Thanks Dave. I'll check at the local Tractor supply and the farm store here in town. I plan on making a 30# batch of andouille in the near future. Will post a thread when I do.MIG wire is pretty hard... so it will push through a sleeved cable... fence wire is pretty soft so you can wind it around the casing and bend it... cheap too...Hmmm...how do you use the wire? like a twist tie?

1/2 inch hog rings?
I use 1/2 hog rings for the bigger sausages,I bought the rings and pliers from the sausage maker.
Yes 1/2 " works well and Thanks Dave !
My cousins use them when making traditional andouille pulled through 2" beef middle casing. They crimp the ends on the links and on one end the also crimp in a piece of butcher twine to hang the links in the smoke house.Sorry for my ignorance, but how (and when) do you use them? Advantages/disadvantages?
