    One other question on the heat. Maybe I missed it but what type of sausage you actually making? Cured, fresh, etc.?

    How to avoid tough skins on smoked sausage?

    First rinse them well inside and out with water. Then put some warm water in a bowl and add some vinegar and then let them soak for like 30 minutes or more. This will help soften them and make the casing much whiter and clean looking.

    Smokin-It #3 Temperature Setting Verses Inside Cabinet Temperature

    Also, we can't forget when cooking multiple butts at one time. When taking about pork butts this can change cook time and temperature between multiple butts. This can be cause by breed, age, what they are fed, etc. of each hog.

    Smokin-It #3 Temperature Setting Verses Inside Cabinet Temperature

    I totally agree with everything you say. When smoking ribs, pulled pork, briskets using high heats the fluctuation is never a problem. But if you try smoking items like jerky, sausage, salami, fish, cheese, charcuterie meats, etc. You will run into major issues if you can't control the...

    Smokin-It #3 Temperature Setting Verses Inside Cabinet Temperature

    I ended up separating everything out as follows: * I use the Smokin-t #3 as a chamber to hold the meat. * I use an Auber PID to control the temperature that is accurate to < 2 degrees +/-. * I also purchased an Supllueer two stage external smoke generator which is used specifically for my smoke.

    Venison summer sausage

    I use to make my own seasoning for a long time. But what I found out is it fresher, easier and cheaper just to purchase the premade seasoning. Over the years I liked this one for my deer salami all you have to add is water and the cure Prague 1 and your good to go. makes 25lbs. I am guessing...

    Grinding deer meat, die size?

    3/4" first grind 3/16" second grind 1/8" is only for burger you buy at the store, where they have to grind it fine to hide all the crap they throw in that they shouldn't. Also when you use grinding plates smaller the 3/16" the burger patties turn into hocky pucks. On good burger never go...

    Smokin it #3 Vs #3D

    This is the smoke generator I use which works external of the Smokin-it 3. This way the smoker heating element is not in control of the smoke. If you want to get a cold smoke for cheese, salami etc. when the element spikes to burn the wood so does the heat in the chamber and over cooks' certain...

    Smokin it #3 Vs #3D

    I currently own a #3 analog. No complaints this thing is built like a tank. The analog works perfectly for ribs, pulled pork etc. But I also have the Auber PID that I can also hook up when I need more low stable temperatures for cheese, fish, sausage, salami etc. I have tried them all and I am...

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    Well, I have done a lot of reading and experimenting over 30 plus years and my opinion is that when you burn wood at real low heat you get a lot of creosote and bitter tasting acids from the wood. And that is what gives off that bitter/acidity taste that turns me off when eating smoked products...

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    The Supllueer smoke generator. I only used once only to test it. But never hooked it up to my smoker or tried to smoke any meat. I had some family things come up so I had to put my hobby on the back burner. But my plans are soon to actually integrate the smoke generator into my Smokin-it #3...

    Recommend Outdoor Propane Fryer?

    I use to have fish fries all the time. I went the propane route. now I just use a electric fryer that I plug into the house outside or a generator. If you can find a propane fryer with a thermostat control that can control the temperature than propane will work as well. I could never find one...
