    They turned out Very Spicy just like they should be. Almost killed one of my co-workers this morning. Here is the sliced view.

    Today's Chorizo Smoke

    Here they are in the smoker with the smoke just starting. I have a propane smoker so my temps are a little higher. The lowest I can go is around 180 so that is where I smoke at. I used cayanne powder from dried peppers. The total powder I used was half cup.

    HELP with Collagen Casings

    Made up 10# of Maple Sage Breakfast Links. Let them stand for about an hour before twisting. Blew out the first link I twisted so I decided to tie them. That went much better.  Will tie them from now on....BTW the links came out great.
