    First time makin' the bacon

    I can help with the slicing issue..... If you will put it in the freezer for a little while. You don't want to freeze it completely, but about halfway.

    Sausage Casing Storage Question

    I put mine in a zip lock bag with just a little water and a good amount of salt. Mixed it up real good then threw them into the freezer. They should last at least a couple month's.

    First Sausage smoke w/ pics "REDEMPTION"
