Does anyone use charcoal and wood to smoke sausage? I have a large insulated cabinet smoker and have smoked snack sticks German and summer sausage in it. They come out ok but I have a hard time ramping up the Temps like I'm supposed to. I just purchased a stoker, one because I wanted one, but also I am thinking the stoker will help me control better for smoking sausage. Do any of you have experience running guru, stoker, etc during your sausage smokes?

I don't have one for my WSM's but you should be able to use it to control temps like you want too for smoking sausages at lower temps.

You should be able to adjust the smokers temp by opening and closing the intake damper. any pic's of your smoker?

I can adjust the temp but it takes too long to warm up. I'm hoping the stoker will raise temp faster because it takes over an hour to go from 120 to 180.
