    Favorite commercial sausage dog for large crowd

    That's kinda hat I'm thinking. Would brats be better ( for re sale) than kielbasa or other)

    Favorite commercial sausage dog for large crowd

Had a hard time getting the smoke chamber up to temp:devil: it took almost 4 hrs before it got to 200. As a result I had a little creosote issue but it was tolerable. So its back to the drawing board...
