When you probe your sticks where do you put it?
I am going to try and smoke some sticks on Saturday, this will be my second attempt. First time was not so good.
Do you use a water pan? Do you ice bath them when they are finished?
My first attempt resulted in pasty meat (overground) And dried out casings that could be peeled right off the meat.
Got any tips? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I am going to stuff some 19mm casings tomorrow for smoking on Saturday. I just want to make sure they turn out ok this time.
I see a lot of people who say they dry the casings for an hour before they smoke. Am I supposed to wet the collagen casings before I stuff? It says not to on the package. Or are these people using natural casings?
Sorry for all the questions I just want to do it right this time
Thanks!
