I have been using hog casings for salami and find the diameter to be a touch small
They seem to provide a diameter slightly larger than sausage but when they shrink up, they are very small
I have been looking at a few web sites and see fibrous casings tend to have larger diameters
Is this what I should be using for salami?  2 1/2" diameter maybe ?
There also seems to be beef casing available in about 2 1/2". 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I have to order some coppa casing so I  figure I will order up some salami casings
at the same time
All I wanted to do was slow smoke some ribs.  Another addiction created thanks to the Bradley that requires regular servicing...  But what an addiction to have.  Even better to share here with some of the best people on the planet.

Would you like smoke with that sir ?

You could use the 2 1/2" and it will be fine.

I use the 2 1/2" for summer sausage and 3 1/2" for salami.

Thanks much
I think bigger is always better ....

3 and half sounds like the way to go.
I will follow in your salami tracks !

I like the bigger casings so when makin sammies you dont have to deal with a bunch of smaller pieces.
