There are tons of great temperature maps on here. I am no expert, but slow and steady is the key. What will you be smoking them in? I have done them in both an electric smoker and and a propane smoker. The electric was much better because the temperature was easier to control and more even... -

Certainly something to look into. I am paranoid about food safety and tend to not want to push it. Many say 152 or 153 IT is fine.

New to the forum, I sure appreciate all of the information here. I have smoked fish and Jerky for years, but wanted to branch out into Summer Sausage and snack sticks.
