SAUSAGE CASINGS
I am wondering about sausage casings because I have been experiencing some "toughness" with natural casings after smoking the homemade sausages. Are there any generally accepted rules or practices to reduce toughness in the casings ? I normally store my (natural) casings in the freezer... -

Red's Reverse Sear Ribeyes - 1st on the New Pellet Pit
Red, That is some nice looking beef ! I appreciate the tip on the onion mix. I grew up eating potato chips with Lipton Soup Onion Mix & sour cream as a dip so I could see why that works with roasted taters. Great Job ! -

It will cost about $100 bucks for an extract starter kit and a boil pot. A five gallon batch of beer...- marcopolo
