Homemade Hot dogs, caseless

[passedpawn]

At the risk of being accused of thread necromancy, has anyone pickled their homemade wieners?
(thanks, @bracconiere , for alerting me to this thread!)

You need this thread.

I'm finally all set up now for my first frisky foray into total weinertude, so hold onto your brioche, here it comes all sauced up but then again also totally dry....

Meat grinder - check
Sausage stuffer - check
Pellet grill - check
Bad attitude and respectable mustard inventory - check
Holy Hotdogs, my favorite food is about to be part of my homebrew arsenal.

Now I just need friends...

Hello, you seem nice!
Want to hang out in my garage and talk non-stop about brewing beer and sausage making?
Wow, that was actually a three-year barley wine, but okay, go ahead and chug it.
Okay cool, here borrow my leaf blower, see you in 7 months.....

J/K both my neighbors are far cooler than this, but yousguys know what I mean, the struggle is real...

From what I'm reading on Walton's website, the max temp for cellulose casings is 180f, my smoker only goes down to 200f. How risky might it be to try it out anyway? I'm wondering if, since cellulose is a natural polymer, it won't break down into something toxic if I use it above 180f?

Do a test smoke with an empty piece of casing first. Maybe stick a real hot dog in there. I would not be concerned with toxicity, but instead whether it falls apart.
