How deeee

I am half way through my virgin journey of making coppa
I am following len poli's recipe
I did the half way re apply cure the other night
In about 9 days I am goingto have to stuff this into a casing

this is what it looks like right now:



As you can see its pretty flat and wide.  The cure and salt is causing the meat to firm up
I assume I am goingto have to roll and tie this somehow so I can get it the casing
At least right now that appears to be a significant challenge or maybe if it sits out of the cure for a while it will soften up?
OR
Am I going to have to cut it in half and try to roll up 2 of  them?

I am just getting ready to order some casings.  I have a veil casing which I intended to use, a sheep casing that get wrapped aroound the meat as opposed to trying to get the meat in a casing.  Should I go with the tube or stay with the veil

Thanks in advance for the help



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 ?
