    Requesting a little info

    Can't get my Temp down! Any ideas?

    I agree with getting an accurate temp reading before you do anything else. If it is higher than you desire then I'd go the needle valve route. I have a post here somewhere on it.

    UDS for smoking?

    With a small enough fire it might work. Need to keep the cooking temp around 170o so as not to render the fat in the sausage. Please note that the smoke is not the cure. A cure must be added to the sausage to smoke at low temps as the meat is in the danger zone for too long.

    Pepperoni Snack Stix

    Mark, Without a doubt the sheeps casings are more delicate than hog casings and blow outs occur easier but the same holds true whith the finished product, a much more tender casing and it just eats better. Lou

    Pepperoni Snack Stix

    The smoker is a propane GOSM with a needle valve mod to obtain lower temps and I let them hang about 6 hours for the bloom. Not that it takes that long but I fell asleep.
