    My new smokehouse...almost complete..need some advice on venting

    thermometer question

    Using the maverick dual thermometer...doing snack sticks, only been in for 2 hours. Smoker temp is at 145 and it says my meat temp is 160? That's not possible, and yes,I made sure they were hooked up correctly, lol.

    1st try at summer sausage

    After 13 hours, I'm happy with my first run. The taste is good and the rest are blooming in the fridge for a few days. After peeling the casing and slicing a few pieces, the outside layer is a bit tough and or dry...but the kids will still eat them, lol!

    1st try at summer sausage

    Well, my ,modifications went well.  Had an old grill laying out back, so I grinded the rivets off the vents and used them.  Had to use the vise and a hammer to get the curve out of them, lol.  Should have enough air flow now!
