    Grill calogen casing?

    That def could be the prob. It was a hot charcoal fire. Wonder it I could simmer in beer for a few before hitting a much cooler grill?

    Grill calogen casing?

    Thanks. It didn't pan out for me. A minute after hitting the grill they exploded. Oh well. Not a big deal. Still tasted good!

    Grill calogen casing?

    Made 15lbs of chicken Italian sausage thinking I had hog casing. I didn't but had a package of calogen so I used that instead. Will there be any issue simmering in beer then grilling them? I have smoked them but never direct grilled them.

    Newbie wanting a easy recipe for beef/ pepperoni sticks

    I can vouch for the Spicy pepperoni by Nespas. I made some this weekend. Mike didn't have a traditional pepperoni flavor, it was subtle, but I still like it a lot. I am going to do 10lbs of it as beef sticks. I added corriander and paprika to mine.

    doing a test run on some chorizo (completed)

    Will do! When your in Walmart, it's in the cheese section next to the frigerated tortilla shells. It's pretty cheap. I think it was $3 for I think a half pound.

    Sorry, I hope I don't come off as "non-appriciative". (Is that a word) :-) I was trying to be silly, but after re-reading my reply, i fear some may take it that way.

    Question about Mortons tender quick.

    Funny, most times when I ask questions on a board like this, I always get at least one response like this. By asking questions on this board and talking to the people who have experience with it, I am doing "research" am I not?

    Question about Mortons tender quick.

    Ok so I found MTQ. I read on the bag that I need to use 1tbs per lbs of meat. But I thread about Nespas pepperoni, everyone seemed to agree that you use 1.5tsp per lbs. That is half of what Morton say to use. I'd that because the directions on the bag are talking about rubbing on the surface...

    Bratwurst seasoning

    Ricks does have a bit of heat to it.  Though red pepper flakes or upping the cayenne would be good too!
