    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.

    Well here is an update on the kielbasa. I'm really disapointed! The finished product is grainy and somewhat dry. This is very confusing because I went strong on the fat content and when checking it in the smoker you could see it was very moist inside. Any suggeations? Here are some pics.

    Ok thanks for the quick response. Here is my plan. Cube meat tonight and mix seasoning, water and cure. I'm gonna let it sit overnight and stuff tomorrow. Then let it sit overnight and smoke next day. If this sounds wrong let me know.

    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...
