    What size casings does everyone use. I’ve never made them before.

              marzig20 always 19mm, would go no bigger than 21mm in my opinion. Looks like from the other comments there is a pattern

                      I make case-less snack sticks. Works just fine. Shoot them out of a round tube from my jerky gun onto a non stick smoking screen and smoke like normal. Works for me.

                            I like 21mm casing using a 13mm tube. Makes it easier to crank with hi-temp cheese mixed in.

                              I switched over to using sheep casings for snack sticks a few years ago and really like how they turn out. Nice snap and no separation.
                              Just this week I did order some 19mm collagen casings from Walton’s to try again because of the good reports I have heard, so will be doing some side by side testing of both types soon.

                                  Within a single lot of casings, they seem to run pretty consistent. Natural casings gauged during processing and are offered in range of sizes like collagen casings are.
                                  Get the sheep casings that are sleeved. They are super easy to work with.
                                  Sheep casing that are loose are harder to work with though. Very fine and small openings to get on the stuffer tube.

                                    The reason I ask is I got some cheap hog casings years ago. They must not have been sized. There was a lot difference in the diameters.

                                          I got the smoke colored ones.
                                          I have also used the clear ones as well in the past and they seem to darken up well when smoked.
