Looks like they should be tasty! Collagen or natural casings? Wish I had a fishing trip coming up so I could make slim jims!
 
 
Case went with the collagen casing.

Richie
That's what it looked like but just wanted to check.

Where are you fishing out of? I may get to go halibut fishing soon. The season opens May 12th (Thurs-Sat fishery) and lasts four weekends in a row.

Jeez Richie.  That really sucks about the MES crapping out.  

The slim Jims look great--but I don`t imagine you got much smoke on them.  I know what would happen to me if I were to use Miss Linda`s oven as a smoker.
