    My smoker is the electric model with a 1600 watt element I burned out two PID's that were rated for 15 amps in power spikes thought I would go with the 1510 1800 watt unit. I've been smoking things for 40 years. My last PID the parameter was 7 degrees it worked well until the power spike.

    How to form sausage patties?

    I found the best way to form breakfast patties is to put a ball of meat into a small ziplock sandwich bag then squash it into a patty with a jar lid to form the patty, freeze in the bag, take the patty out of the bag while frozen it won't stick, Fry frozen and enjoy!

    Sous vide confusion

    I can see the SV for making summer sausage I done that in an oven water bath, I searched SV in the sausage forum I was under the impression some were using it to come up to pasteurizing temperature after smoking.

    Sous vide confusion

    I have some polish smokies in the smoker normally I would smoke until I reach 155* internal thought I would try the sous vide method according to the chart you need 1 hour at 140* to achieve pasteurization. Should I smoke to the desired color, bag m up than sous vide at 140* for a couple hours...

    Poaching sausage method
