Hello all, I finally made my first batch, a whole lot of fun. Organizing/separating the hank of hog casings was a learning experience. I figured out spreading them out on a 6-foot folding table was the way to go. Rinsing had some more learning. A couple of questions; How much rinsing of the inside o...

I hope it does not take as long to get grinding as it took to pull the trigger on welding up a cooker! :mrgreen: They are slicks! It's heavy but ballanced so it moves quick (just need to keep it away fr...
