Query: Great experience

Overall, the kit was great and easy to use. Would have rated it 5 stars except for the casings. They were very small and almost not useable. Fortunately, I had other casings and some collagen casings that I was able to use. The sweet and spicy were good but I like even "more heat" in snack sticks. The hickory were very good but if I used this kit again, would add more pepper and garlic powder. Like about a tsp of each. Depending on the type of meat you use, you need to add some binder like about 2/3 cup of soy protein powder for a 7.5 lb batch (available at Trader Joes). Definitely would recommend this kit.
