So I am currently in the process of finishing out a batch of Polskas. Hanged em in my MBES and smoked for about 3 hours or so. Little crampy in the little guy, and I'm only doing 5 pounds. Taking dowel rods and draping them over to hang loosely, although I had two lone links and one decided to give up the ghost early on and took the plunge right into the element. (Happened to me another time with some sticks...hate it when they do that.) Anyways there are lots of grayed, unsmoked areas where the sausages were overlapping or touching the rods. I decided to try and add some more smoke and put them face down on the smoker grates to try and get more color. Not sure if any more smoke is gonna get in there but the OCD in me just doesn't like the mottled areas.
Any way to avoid these bare/unsmoked patches? Need to occasionally rotate them? Get a bigger smoker with more room? (Excuse to get a new toy...hah.)
