Wow what a week it's been. Still recovering and dealing with this. Wife did a good job finishing up. The pepperoni and cheese sticks are the first snack stick ive truly liked. Delicious. Kielbasa and summer sausage good as usual. Also did 10lbs or brown sugar maple and 10lbs of country sausage...

Wish I had more pictures. Halfway through the day, I now have Flu A. Wife finished it up while I rested, summer sausage was last pulled at around 10hrs.

Low and slow is right. 4hours in pepperoni is at 125, kielbasa is around 110.

Jam packed. Got the smoker tub set on the bottom and smoking we go. Venison summer sausage on the Left (3 links jalapeño/cheddar and 3 links jalapeno/pepper jack/3 pepper) In the middle is kielbasa links On the R is pepperoni sticks 3/4 has cheddar and pepeprjack.

Need some advice. Im low on ECA for the pepperoni sticks. Am I good to grind, mix seasoning and cure and let sit in fridge overnight and then stuff tomorrow morning when I get the ECA and smoke immediately?

I air dried in front of a fan for about 6 hours. Didn't notice much even after putting in the fridge for 48hrs. Ended up drying for 6 days.

Mid to High 70s is as low as it'll get. Think it's 82 right now. AC is set at 70 inside 👍 Thanks!!

Alright. 10hrs later.. 152(got to 153 with holding for 15mins) and they're drying in the house with a fan. They look good. Might let them sit out overnight and bag them to the fridge tomorrow when I get up for work around 6am.

Thank you sir.

Ok to hang in the house? Or has to be in fridge

Thanks y'all. Got a probe in there closely watching the temps. I've read a bunch of conflicting saying ice bath, or hang and dry for 24hrs. I believe im going to hang these.
