Done Temps?

[generalee]

Just a quick few questions -

1.  For smoked sausages not precooked what is considered done temps?

Do you use a temp probe to check? I generally try to have a "no puncture policy" if I can help it..but will do whatever is necessary to cook safe.

2. Time/Temps to run at?  suggestions as I know things vary...

 

[flash]

They do not take long. Usually I look for an IT of 160º and some wrinkling of the skin. Standard 225 to 250 smoking temps will work.

I usually smoke my sausage, beef sticks etc. at 150-160 so they don't fat out.... It will take up to 24 hours for them to get to temp... or I steam them in a pan with a rack to 150-165, depending on whether I'm making beef/pork or chicken...
