Is it necessary to tie the ends of snack stick ropes for hanging in a smoker. I always have and it is rather labor intensive. I’m wondering if I could just cut them to length and leave the ends open, would the meat stay in the casing?

Thank you guys. Smoking 30lbs tomorrow and this will save a lot of time!

I’m wanting a breakfast sausage seasoning that takes like jimmy dean original sausage. Any suggestions?

Thank you
