Getting my conditioning water ready for the SS casings.

2 T kosher salt. Mix good to dissolve. (no those are not marshmallows, my overhead lights)

Run some cold water into the SS Casings and empty. Place all the casings in the soaking water.

Now cover to keep em all under the water for a good hour.

Can I ask, why the salt?

Helps condition the casings.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Ready for stuffin.

Rotate your O ring in your meat to get it greasy. Easier to crank down instead of a dry O ring in the canister.

Run your meat right to the end of the tube, this will eliminate an air pocket at the top of the casing. If your using cloth you dont need to do this as you can squeeze out any air pockets thru the cloth.

I forgot to do the second hand mix as you can see the meat colors.

3 for this fridge and smoking tomorrow.

4 in the freezer for a diff item.

I assume that those are a fibrous casing so smoke will penetrate.
