Description
18 mm Smoke Collagen Casings are a Processed Stix variant with each casing holding approximately 8.43 lb of meat or 540 lb per caddy. Processed Stix are primarily a smaller caliber casing specifically designed for dry or semi-dry snack sticks. They only come in a smoke color, and range in size from 15 mm to 23 mm and our most popular size would be the 19 mm. Processed Stix have the heaviest wall weight of all of our edible collagen casings, which allows them to be hung from smoke sticks during the drying or thermal processing. There is also a very nice snap in the bite to these casings, which is great for many types of small diameter meat snacks, like everything from a traditional snack stick, or fermented snack stick, or even other dry and semi-dry sausage like a small diameter pepperoni or salami.
