    Stuffed Smoked Portobello Mushroom with Q-view

    First time smoker...

    I'll let the food safety and sausage experts answer your sausage questions.  As far as the rest. You want a temperature of about 225 - 250 degrees for the should ribs and brisket. Depending on the type of ribs, spares, baby back, etc it can average around 5-6 hours at the temperature. It's...
