    Tough collagen casings

    Thank you all for the replies. I have been hesitant to use natural casings as I am thinking blowouts are easier. I will have to give the sheep and hog a try. I like making my own sausage and have using a few different recipes.

    Snack stick drying

    I have 20lbs of snack sticks smoked brought up to 160-170 deg. They are put in collagen casings. I have them cut and in paper bags in a refrigerator. They are softer than what I would like. How long can I leave them in the fridge for to dry?

    EQ Brine for Salmon??

    Just to make sure I am thinking right the EQ method is based upon the weight of the fish? So 5Kg of fish would need 137 grams of salt or 2.75% and so on.

    Gator Pit Texas Edition or RT-1250 or update controller

    I called Lone Star Grillz. Current lead-time is 5 months. I called Gator Pit and lead-time is 7 months. Neither is easy to get. I did not call RecTeq to see if they have the RT-1250 or Pitts and Spitts 1250 in stock.
