    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.

    I have a Chargriller Pro w/SFB. I bought the cover for it. Only $20. I have had the cover for about 3 months. It's already sun faded, then today, I took it off and it ripped like paper. There was no strength left in it. Before I go waste money on another cover, I am wondering if it really is...
