First for Summer Sausage

[nichiowa]

First of all this batch is kicking my butt. It is a 25lb LEM Summer Sausage kit with 70/30 venison/pork. I put 8-52mm logs in the oven yesterday at 2 pm @ 170. We went to bed at 11 with an IT of 126. I wake up at 7 and the oven turned itself off. The IT was 92. I started the oven at 170 again and am now waiting for an IT of 165. Do I scrap it, or does the cure save me no matter how long it takes?

The cure saved you. Nothing to worry about. Finish in a hot water bath, way faster than the oven...JJ

How do I finish with a hot water bath? And is there any concern of the holes that have been poked to check temp? Sorry for the questions, this is very new to me.
