Getting ready to make some snack sticks.
The last time I made them I think I used the LEM 21mm casings on a 19mm tube.  The casings stated 'DO NOT Soak' However I had to soak them to get them on the tube.  Any thoughts on this??
Also is it recommended to place in a cold water bath when complete ??

I never soak colagen casings and have never put into an ice bath after taking out of the smoker. The always turn out great.

Are you sure about the size of your casings and tube.   They should fit.    I've found some are tight to get on and what I've is rub the tube lightly with some olive oil.   They slip on easily then.
