Forget about those mixes (salt, coloring, crap, et cetera,) stick with
fresh ground spices.
Also, I use hog casings for my sausages, and if you over stuff them, the
casing breaks while being stuffed.
What you need to do is poke tiny holes every time you flip your link.
Some flavor comes out, but also much of the fat. I use one of those corn
holders that have two sharp prongs.
