Ring Bologna & Chub

[IdaSmoker]

Enid,  what you made looks wonderful.  Are those red casings plastic or permeable fibrous and where did you buy them?  Did you use any smoke on these and if so, for how long?  Thanks!!

Sorry for the late reply, I had to go to Iowa then Nebraska for work. I used these for the ring bologna and this for the chub. I smoked the rings for 90 min. and left the chub in for a total of 2 hours.

Enid, thanks for the clarification.  Just for your info, you can get the round collagen's a bit cheaper at LEM:  http://www.lemproducts.com/product/3734/Non_Edible  ($11.99 per 25)

I've not seen the red casings before and after checking your source I see they are in fact permeable fibrous to allow smoking.  Are these red casings in fact 4 7/8" diameter after stuffing?  If so, I will definitely order some.  Thanks for that and your smoke time.  I love ring bologna and most of Len Poli's recipes.

I sliced most of my chub up, vacuum sealed in 1lb packages, and they measured 4-5/8".
