Large Casings

[sherlock]

Has anyone ever made anything using the lunch meat size casings?

I bought a couple just to play around with and can't decide what will work.

I have made 4 inch dia, summer sausage, lebanon balogna, and conventional bologna before.  Lots of fun, but cooks for a very long time!!!!!!!!!!  Tough being patient with low box temps waiting for internals to come up. 

In an earlier version smoker, heat/smoke was provided by an electric hot plate on the floor of the box.  I have replaced the smoke pan with boiling water and cranked the burner, providing a steam cabinet.  Worked well, and didnt have to many fat rendering problems.  Back to basic physics of specific heat in steam I guess!!!!  Wont work in the bradley though.  I wonder if that old box is still in the barn.............. :-\

Smoked bologna sounds good! That is a normal lunch staple in our house. I think I am going to have to add that to the list of things to try!

I would like to try some 4" diameter bologna, summer sausage, salami, or something. All ideas, suggestions, recipes and smoking instructions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
