    first time salami (Q View)

    i wouldn't be too hard on yourself that looks like some awesome salami bud!As far as the smoke issue maybe try lettting the casings sit in the smokehouse stuffed around 100'F for an hour or so without smoke to let them dry and then they can take on the smoke, then hit them with smoke at 120'F.
