    I have read a lot of reviews about different sheep casings. Most of them talk about torn casings and hard to work with. Which ones do you fine folks find best to use? Thanks

    i need help with sausage links please

    I make my sausage using LEM seasoning. I stuff the casings. Then I twist them to make links. Here is the problem. I can't get the twist to stay. The links always come undone. What am I doing wrong? I know it is probably simple but it is becoming a pain. Any help is very welcome.

    little help with jerky in an electric smoker

    I have done lots of jerky on a dehydrator. I would like a good smoky flavor so I was thinking about trying it on my Bradley Original smoker. Would the principal be much the same as the post I have read doing on an MES? Thanks for the help

    who builds smoke houses?

    David, its funny you say that. I was thinking about those little sheds before I posted this. Would I need to do anything specific to the interior to make it fire proof? It would be used mostly to smoke summer sausage and things like that.

    I like a lot of the smoke houses I have seen built on here. My question is, does anyone know who builds smoke houses to sell? My construction skills are really lacking so I would just like to buy 1 if possible. Thanks
