    Casing recommendations

    I made a bunch of link sausage (deer & wild hog) last year using a bag of casings I got from a local business. They stunk to high heaven! When I grilled the sausage or even smoked the sausage I did not like the "bite" to the casing at all. It did not have the snap I was hoping for....you had to...

    120 gallon RF build dimension question

    I am planning on starting my 2nd RF build. I built a 250 gal about 5 years ago and really enjoy it. Our local propane company was scrapping some tanks last year and I have been wanting a smaller cooker to go with my 250, so I decided to pick one up. The tag on the tank says it was built in 1970...

    Sausage link help

    I ended up tying them. One thing that I noticed was the casings. They really stunk. they were in a sealed bag with salt, etc. I noticed it off the bat when I picked them up. I soaked them in water before I used them, but I can still smell the crap on my hands today.

    Wild Hog sausage question

    I should have specified. I will not be using fat from the hog. I do not like to use any fat from hog, deer, etc. I am planning on adding all the fat to the hog. I don't care about cooking the ribs separately. I have never found deer ribs or hog ribs to be "meaty" enough to justify that. I am...

    U burners for griddle

    I believe making burners out of pipe may be less expensive and a little easier. Does anybody have experience with this? Such as construction and drilling the holes, etc?
