Wow...those look excellent. I just finished a batch of Brats, taking a rest and now am looking for another project. I used collagen once with my Lem and it seemed to work OK on the smaller tube but am thinking of investing in the SS one. I just got a catalog from Lem and they had lots of toys in there I'd like. I've found, and not sure if this pertains to everybody, that I need to go very slow with the cranking out of the Brat sized sausages or I'll have blowouts and other issues that p*** me off, errrrrr frustrate me. A foot pedal would be nice for hands free but I'm not sure if it would run faster than I could manage......Willie
