Stuff the casings to the desired length, cut the links, and secure the ends with string. Barbecue at 225 degrees F for 2 hours or slow-smoke at 185 degrees F for 4 hours. For sausage patties, form the meat mixture into a roll and cover with wax paper. Slice the roll into patties and peel off the wax paper. Patties can be fried or grilled.
