The fibrous casing will work fine if you just peel it as you do your slicing.

KK,
Before you stuff them read the instructions on how to use them, some fibrous casings need to be soaked in luke warm water inside and out for up 30 minutes before filling.
Fill them very tight!!!!!!!!! They won't burst!!!!!!
Good Luck,
Jan.

KK,
I used fibrous for the first time recently. Really like them. Jan's right - you really need to stuff them tightly.I don't think you can burst them! I found that the last part that remained in the stuffer needed to be pushed in by hand and pressure put on to keep them tight.
They take on smoke well and the sausage doesn't stick to the inside like it does with hog casings.
I think you'll love them.
