    Bradley smoker modification & improvements?

    Rexster, Does the Amazen smoker tube replace the Bradley Bisquettes entirely? What is the fuel? Is it pellet stove pellets? Am I locked into the particular type of pellets made by A-Maze-N? Or are there other fuel options with these tubes? And where do you place this smoker tube inside...

    Bradley smoker modification & improvements?

    So I’m assuming that this Amazen tube is designed just to be placed in the bottom of the smoker and ignited? How long does the 12” tube last? What type of pellets? Are these the same type of pellets that they use in the pellet stoves? Thanks again & happy Christmas to all!

    Looking for Vacuum sealing machine recommendations

    I know it’s not about smoking but I’m eventually planning on replacing my Costco Foodsaver machine. It works however it doesn’t have the ability to keep working. After @ 6 to 8 bags it has to be shut down and allowed to rest for 10 minutes. Then it will work again for a while. I would like...

    Bradley smoker modification & improvements?

    fellas, I’m new to smoking and bought my first smoker a couple of weeks ago: A Bradley digital 4 shelf smoker/oven. During my first attempt smoking venison summer sausage in 2 1/2” fibrous casings I realized that using the smoker alone takes way too long. Since then I’ve learned about the...

    2 1/2” Fibrous casing sticking to summer sausage.

    Honestly I don’t know! I put all casings in the refrigerator in a pile! I didn’t separate them. Now I’ve learned that guys only smoke for @ 4 or 5 hours. Then just use the oven until the sausages reach a certain internal temperature. Then move them to the hot water bath. What internal...

    2 1/2” Fibrous casing sticking to summer sausage.

    Yes. I used the Bradley Smoker for the first time. I had 20 lbs in 2 1/2” casings hanging from hooks. It was packed but nothing touching each other or the walls. It took that long to reach 160° internal temperature. Then afterwards I’m reading the guys are finishing the sausage at 152°...

    2 1/2” Fibrous casing sticking to summer sausage.

    I forgot to mention that I did the ice bath as well until the internal temperature is @ 100 degrees. But this hard residual layer left behind the casing is not edible. So I’m Assuming that it’s a residual layer of the casing itself. Am I wrong? I’ve been cutting the sausage into slices, peel...

    hey fellas, I’m new to smoking. Got a Bradley 4 shelf digital smoker recently. I had venison summer sausage with 40% fat in the mix. I used the LEM seasoning package with Instacure. I soaked the fibrous casings for almost an hour. Then after stuffing them I let them dry in the Bradley oven...

    Summer sausage and other sausage internal temperatures?

    Can the hot water bath method be used for any type of casing? I’m looking at a Hamilton beach 22 quart model electric turkey roaster that has a 24” length. That should easily accommodate 20 inch long casings. That should work shouldn’t it?

    Summer sausage and other sausage internal temperatures?

    Thanks for the info. How does the hot water bath system work in conjunction with smoking? I primarily smoke venison summer sausage right now. 2 1/2” fibrous casings. Do I smoke them first then do the hot water bath? Or vise Versa? Can you give me some guidelines of how long to do each and...
