Just got done stuffing it all and hopefully it will work out....tomorrow morning early is youth turkey time so I went ahead and spent the time stuffing them tonight.

I get my casings from a local commercial processing plant...they machine stuff their sausage where I hand stuff mine. Their machines won't feed the last 20 feet or so of each compacted casing length they get so they just give them to me to use.

I put a damp towel down on big cookie sheet and set the first five sticks on it and then put another damp towel down and put the others on top of them with another damp towel on top of that...hopefully that will keep the casings hydrated enough to wait till mid-morning when I am able to get home and start the 10 hour process of cooking at 140 degrees.

Yes - Toemass...same recipe. You know you are welcome to come taste test anytime you want. Sorry my call dropped out this afternoon and then I had a phone malfunction...left you a vm later this evening.

Bubba - meet me Sunday afternoon in Tipton for the exchange....of course, behind the McDonald's in the parking lot

Pictures coming of the little fellers waiting to get smoked in a few minutes.
