    Question on collagen casings

    no do not soak them stuff them just the way they are.  slip the whole thing onto your stuffing tube if it will fit if not, pull off the length you want and slip it onto your tube. you will need to tie the ends as they dont stay twisted too well

    Need Kielbasa help!!

    first off I think you ground it way too fine.  I have made allot of kielbasa and I grind it once through a 3/8 plate  150* for about 8 hrs with hickory. never let the smoker get any hotter than 155*  remove and let it hang and bloom before I package it I then poach it for about 20 minutes...

    Smokin a 5lb. Roast Beef in a MES40"

    the advice will depend on the cut of  beef you are going to smoke. in example, a chuck roast would get smoked allot different than a sirloin roast.

    GOSM burning wood chips

    I have a GOSM and I got rid of the small chip pan that came with it and use a 8x8 3" deep pan. .an old cast iron skillet works too. I put chips and sawdust in and cover it with foil. I leave about a 1" space in the middle open and it works great  no flames
