    Fan In A Smoker ?

    I have 3 computer fans in my smoker. One at the bottom and one at each end at the top pointing down. It really helps even the temperature in my smoker. I only use my smoker for sausage and fish so i dont get the temperature over 170° . Anymore than that the computer fans will probably fail.

    What did I do wrong for my brats to vary so much in color? Should I have dried them longer before putting smoke to them? The ones on the outer edges got good color but the ones in the middle didn't. I rotated racks a couple times in the process.
