Yes they are indeed 'Tasty'.

With that said, I'm leaning toward trying the small sheep casings once I've used the collagen ones up. I guess I'm just too much of a traditionalist as I've always used pork casings for Italian and my Smoked Sausage. Yup Hog Guts!

Chittling Time!!

4Lbs of Elk, 3Lbs of Pork with a summer sausage mix that I decided to give a try. All stuffed into mahogany colored snack stix sized collagen casings. This is only the second time I've ever used a premix sausage mix, the other was a sample from a supplier that I was buying Prague Powder #1 from.

Anyway this is the first batch with the upgraded heating unit/which worked Wonderfully!

Right before adding the damp hickory chips. Sorry didn't notice the crap on the lens.

A few hours later and the sausage after being sprayed to cool them down and help reduce the wrinkling.

Tc, you don't want to hear this but there was about 10-12#'s of coarse ground Elk in the freezer when you were here. If I'd thought about it we would have had Elk Burgers. But then the timetable was pretty tight.

There were also more of the smoked Kielbasa like I took with us to give to Glen in the freezer.

As we've discussed we'll get together again and if it's here at the Boars Nest, I promise Elk Burgers and Smoked Kielbasa will be on the menu!

A chocolate pecan tart for the weekend.
