Start out very low temp warm water and raise slowly this will help from bursting , Also like mention needle the sides to help with pressure buildup . Bet they tasted great 
Just my 2 cent Stella 69

kyle Thanks for the response still trying to navigate around i will give it a try but will need to wait until winter here in Az to hold at 70 degrees for 3 to 4 weeks 
My Understanding is it a ring of Sausage normally fully cooked but ground very fine like bologna .
I am a very new Member and do not normal chat on Website in fact this is my first one BUT i have always been a meat guy in my career and very much in enjoy the site also product for sale, comment from other folks ETC.
BUT not really tech savvy and don’t really know how to move around like others more experience or younger than myself 
Have you ever thought about a U-Tube video on how to use the website and all it functions ?
Just a thought for us/me tech unsavvy folks to learn how to get around ?
No kids at home to help anymore

You should try the belt sharpers they sell at Cabels Etc
Been a Meat cutter most of my life and these are wonderful.
They can eat up a knife but very good a sharp knifes.
You do need a good steel very important with any meat cutting.
Thanks for the response

No i did not was trying to get the good dry wrinked stick so i lower temp and cooked at 120 for another 2 hours .
They looked great , meat stayed together nicely just casing peels off with easy .
I was thinking maybe i didnt mix enough but meat stayed together nicely also stuffed tighter and that helped for sure.
I will try ice bath on next batch THANKS A BUNCH
