I just entered the pellet smoker world myself. About a week before you. Smoked some burgers and a butt this weekend. Not sure about the claim above that it doesn't taste the same as other types of smokers. Both came out amazing and I couldn't tell a difference. But then again maybe my...

I had a similar problem with sausage being brittle when I first started doing it. Found out that I had my temps too high. Got a good thermometer and haven't had that problem since. Like the others, I start out between 120-130 and work my way up to 170-180.
I just ordered the Maverick last week and can't wait til it gets here. I messed around with 3 cheaper thermometers and hated them. I should have gotten one of these to begin with. Everybody I've talked to has had only good things to say about them.
Those look awesome. I've been smoking summer sausage for a couple of months. It's good but I need to figure out the temps better. What temp did you smoke at for the snack sticks and summer sausage?
This has been very helpful. I appreciate everybody's insight. I'll be trying some more summer sausage soon and I think it will turn out better this time.
I am new to smoking and sausage making. I have made a few batches of venison summer sausage and have a returning problem. I keep ending up with some sticks having a layer of fat between the meat and the casing. I would naturally think that lowering the fat content would solve this but I've...
The meat with just brown sugar was a little milder but it was also a little bit dryer than the other. I'm not sure what would cause one to be dryer than the other since they were right next to each other. But both were delicious. I had the fat side up. Not for any particular reason, I just...
Thanks for the info. I smoked 2 butts this weekend and they turned out great. I followed your lead and did one with a prepared rub and one with just brown sugar. I also finshed them in the oven. I can be overly critical of my own meat but my whole family got together for a birthday and they...
That looks awesome! I'm a newbie and so far the longest smoke I've done has been a couple of turkeys which took just over 6 hours. I've done a few batches of summer sausage which has proved pretty easy since the temp doesn't need to be too high. But I'm dying to smoke a butt next. What temp...
Thanks for all the info! It really helps a lot. I will definitely have more questions. I have absolutely loved smoking things so far!
@nepas: I used the summer sausage kit from LEM first but as soon as my high temp cheese gets here I am going to try the High Mountain jalepeno with cheddar...
