Hot Dog casing recommendations please.

Parksider ARGH zip ties! I JUST did cellulose casings and I even bought zip ties months ago when you first brought this up but I forgot to try them! That is absolutely going to be one of our “Meathack Monday” posts on social media when I eventually remember to try this! That would have saved me 20 minutes last week! If I ever remember to do it I will give you and your Instagram account (which makes me drool at least once a week) a shout out!
Jonathon i tried the tiny zip ties on my last batch of bambi dogs. Found they cut the cellulose cases so had to go back to string. Thinking real serious about the string manual linker. But dont tell Mrs. Bubba plz

smokinbubba Did you twist the links first? I twist, then zip tied. I’m into the linking them into globes now… just looks cool… an once of image is worth a pound of performance! Once you learn it goes quick.

smokinbubba When are you thinking of making them? I am going to come in this weekend and make some modified Landjaeger if you want I can test the Walton’s linker on the cellulose and try to get some video? I know that’s one product we don’t have a lot of video of.

Ok, so I never got around to making hotdogs… I ended up taking Jonathon’s suggestion of trying some of the bacon-burger seasoning and ended up making (50:50 pork/beef) bacon-burger sausages, but never mixed till protein extraction…
I must say I was impressed with the flavor… I will be ordering more very soon… for burgers… but I dont think I would use it for hotdogs…
Also, the website suggested 26mm casings for hotdogs… They are great for sausages, I used them for the burger/sausages and they were perfect… But, my preference is for Sabbrette size dogs, long and thin… guess I need to measure a Sabbrette to see what size casing to order…

smokinbubba Old casings or wrapped too tight? That’s not normal, shouldn’t be happening.

Jonathon would love to see the linker in action!
Parksider, i like the globe method but my cookshack is small so i dont think i would get many in it. Now i just lay on the racks and easilly get 10lbs on the 3 racks. -

Parksider i did over stuff that batch so its possible that was the cause. Getting low on meat so prolly wont be making much more till i “restock” the freezer. Really wish we had moose in Ohio!
