All the talk about Greg's Spicy sticks, I figure I better try it

ok sounds good.   thanks

Does anyone cut their snack stick before smoking?  I'd rather lay them out on the racks instead of hanging.  Does the meat still stay inside the casings after cutting?

I lay mine on the racks most of the time. I just tie them off at whatever length I want.

Awesome looking sticks. 
I like the grinder and stuffer too--looks a lot like my toys which are a Cabala's 1/2 hp grinder, 11 lb  stuffer.  I need to get some sausage and sticks made--been too long.  But next up are 2 batches of beer over the weekend, but that's another story. 
I've never had meat go past the seal, but I stuff immediately after grind/mix.   And I added the motor a while back--wow, that's nice.  Sure makes the arm feel better after a batch of sticks. 
Hope I get a deer over the weekend so I can make some sausage.
