    Trail Bologna - Question

    This weekend I dabbled in making some Trail Bologna for the first time. I was able to borrow a 5# Mighty Bite stuffer from a colleague of mine which was a life saver. The bologna turned out great in flavor, but I have a question in regards to the final product. Why is the collagen casing...

    New MES 145S

    Smoker junkie here... Bought a new smoker at Sam’s knowing I’d eventually upgrade the controller with a PID. That being said I’m impressed with the controller accuracy so far. Flame boss I use for the BGE and MES are close enough for g00berment work! Happy smoking from Pennsylvania!
