Summer sausage again

[Woodzman]

Well yesterday I had the smoker fired up. I made 10 1# sticks of summer sausage. It came out great as always but finally with warmer weather I was able to do it completely in the smoker and not the oven as I have had to everytime because it was cold out.

Looks good; just wondering does it being hung in the smoker make a difference? I'm going to smoke 5 pounds of turkey pepperoni using a recipe emailed to me from a member and just curious.

In my opinion the only difference is I don't have to turn it and it doesn't have grill marks....from the weight of it laying on the grill. I use the same recipe and wood to smoke with. And I always get the same great quality product. This is the first time I haven't had to finish it in the oven but I believe this is because I was making my other batches in cooler weather

Righto, I was just curious; I didn't even really get marks from using my MES to do the summer sausage I did. I try to lay them in the thing so they rest between grill slats.

Well I made 10# of summer sausage Friday and now I have 1 stick left for myself. Its only Tuesday.guess I will have to go bigger next time. Thinking about putting more hanging rods in and possi ly

Possibly an extra heat source but we will see
