What size casing are you using and how long are them lengths?  When I do 5 lb my lengths are about 18 inches and it takes about 9+ loops using 18mm casings.  Not real happy with the 18mm casing I last purchased from Allied Kenco as they have holes in them and blow out pretty easy.  Be glad when I get them all used up  >:(

I like the 15-16mm i get from Iowa

Those look awesome Rick, I bought a pound of  Habanero sticks at the butcher the other day and was disappointed. I think I will make some sticks real soon :)
