Mr Larry

Where you buy your casings ? I tried the real ones last time I made sausage and they are way better than the collagen ones I bought mine ready to use I know in the old days they used them straight from the hog they killed but that seems like a lot of work. Can you tell us how your smoker works guessing gas?

I start a fire in the half drum get some coals then put it in and add whatever wood I want ...I use hickory most of the time ....I have a thermometer through the front wall by the door ..I try to keep it between 150 and a hundred  til they shrink up then just smoke em til I like the look of em .....big half blocks will keep your fire from blazeing up to hot on you ...
