    Different diameter sausage in the smoker

    In the past I have always made just one size sausage but this time I had some leftover so I stuffed a 3" fibrous casing to go along with the 43mm ring casings ! I placed a probe in each but my question is when the 43mm reaches 153 degrees the PID will shut the smoker off. Will the larger...

    Eldon's Pepper sticks

    I was gifted a packet of this seasoning and it calls for lean meat only ! This seems strange to me because all the other snack sticks that I have made call for some ratio of fat . What are you guy's thoughts on this? Have any of you made anything similar with zero fat ? I would think it would...

I just got a 5 pack of 21mm collagen casings from Butcher and Packer and when I tried to stuff them they started splitting with ease. These were not over stuffed either.

    How long can you keep sheep casings in the fridge

    I have been using collagen casings for snack sticks and they have a 6 month shelf life in the fridge and they are rather chewy so I want to give the sheep casings a try . I noticed that the clear collagen smoke casings weren't as chewy as the mahogany ones but sheep is supposed to be better.

    Kielbasa and Pepper sticks ?

    I have 10 pounds of sticks and 5 pounds of sausage and I want to smoke them but the sticks call for the step method and the sausage calls for 180 for 2 hours or so till the IT gets to 160 . Can I just smoke them both using the step method ? I can run a probe to each to monitor the IT.
