    Summer sausage question

    I smoke my SS for around 6 hours, until I like the color, and then finish it to 155 in a hot water bath. Don't over heat the water temp, or it will fat out on ya. Then into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Just my way

    Pellet Smoker Questions - 1st Time Buyer

    Look at Green Mountain Grills. Better built IMHO. Less temp swing and more controllable. I have cooked on both.

    Hot Water Bath Poll

    When I do finish my pepper stick in the smoker, I do add a hotel pan full of water. Although I am not sure how much humidity it adds in my insulated reverse flow smoker.
