How do you tie off links? Do you do it as you stuff or after the casing is stuffed? All tips are welcome and thanks.

I'm not as neat or fancy as Rick but I can try to answer your question. I have done it both ways. Depends if I have any help or not. If I have help, I prefer to twist links as they are being stuffed. If no help then I twist after they are stuffed. Like I said.... I prefer to do twist it as the casings are being stuffed. Just seams easier that way.  :) However, I normally do not have help   :(

What works for me is when stuffing pinch the casing were you want to twist and hold it a second wile the next link starts then do that with every link.

I dont stop the stuffer when doing the pinch thing.

When you got the casing full twist at every pinch and twist clock wise with the first one then counter clock wise with the next and keep switching back and forth as you go down the casing.

Going in opposite directions on every other one keeps them form untwisting as you twist the next.

Hope that made sense.

There will be a special place for you in the "Smokers" part of heaven because you provided such valuable instruction free of charge to the masses that are hungry for knowledge and enlightenment from the Master.

the pinch method is the best method when you are working alone. You need to spin every other link and only one direction. Give them a three finger pinch if you need more room to twist.
