I just got a Masterbuilt 560 Gravity smoker.
After seasoning, my first smoke was some venison ring bologna.
Since this was my first time with this smoker, I didn't know what to expect.
Over a few hours I was able to get the meat temp up to 160.
Cooled it off and let it bloom for a few hours.
It was ok but not that great. Not much smoke taste.
Then I froze it.
The batch was too big to do all at once so I did the rest the next day.
Lots of smoke in the smoker and the finished product was a lot different and much better.
My question is can I thaw the first batch out and try to smoke it again safely?
Thanks for your help
