Just decided I would make some.  Last time I smoked it, I had bad issues with the casing.  Never happened before.  Hoping it was old, bad hog casing.  But just to hedge my bets I did some in cellulose casings too.  The natural casing need to air dry about 2 hours, (you use what you got) not sure it will help in the cellulose casing, but cant hurt.  Supposed to smoke 3 hours at 150°, then raise temperature to 170°.  I cant get that low on the Pro, I can get to about 175° with some fiddling, so will probably just try that and pull at 140° to 150°, and hope it get some smoke on it.

Probably will not get more then an hour in the smoke for the small ones.  Hoping the natural casings can go at least 2.

Had the same issue with the casing becoming inedible.  No idea why this is happening, other then to long in smoke, but 2 1/2 does not seem to long to me.  Glad I did some in the cellulose.  I think I will send the hog casing stuff through the LEM with a big die and use it for pizza topping!

Is that black line, just a stripe on the casing ?

Yes, cellulose normally used for hot dogs.
