The picture after the ground picture is what they looked like before going into the smoker. I think next time i will have a couple gadgets before trying this. First a verticle stuffer! Second I will have an AMNS smoker for getting some smoke time before heat. I was very disapointed with...
No I started them in the smoker at 150 degrees and bumped the temperature of the smoker up slowly till 180 degrees. The Kielbasa was pulled at 155 degrees.
Sorry i forgot to say i bumped the temperature up slowly as they cooked to 180. I did not gve them a cold shower when done i put them in the fridge. As far as dry when put in i had them in the fridge overnight to dry. Maybe the meat keot cooking???
The smoker was set to 150 degrees and they smoked for 3 1/2 hours untill internal temp was 155 degrees. I ground the meat once through coarse and once thru. fine plate and yes the meat was very sticky and took forever to stuff with grinder.

Here is my plan.

If this sounds wrong let me know.
Ok so I have read so many posts I don't know what is the right process. I will be using pink curing salt and pre-packaged Kielbasi seasoning. Legg's Old Plantation.
So is my 1st step to debone the meat then add spices and cure and let sit overnight before stuffing and smoking? Do I add...
Well when my local supermarket ran ribs for $1.49 lb I had to put a few packages in the freezer! These were two full racks in a pack.
Time to fire up the smoker.
After a nice rub down with some spices they were ready for the Masterbuilt.
210 degrees for 3 hours and 225 for the last hour and...
