Kutztown, Pa.
Hello all from Kutztown, Pa. new to the forum but have been stalking for a while. I just picked up a used Masterbuilt 30 digital and bought the cold smoke attachment for it. Smoked my first sweet Lebanon bologna, my first ever sausage. I hope it comes out good. Smoked it for about 10 hours. most the time @130degrees full smoke, then slowly increased the temps till IT of 155degrees. I pulled my internal temp probe out when I removed it from the smoker and some fat dripped out. I'm hoping it didn't fat out to bad. I let it bloom over night in my 67 degree house. And now its in the refrig. Will be cutting soon to check. I purchased the bologna mix and the muslin casing from a nice country store in the area called Eco Hill Country Store in Fleetwood Pa. Check them out online. They also sell stuff on ebay. I know you guys like pics so here are some with the final pic to come. Ive got lots to learn so don't be to ruff on me.

Well here's the cut photo. The hole in the middle is from the probe. It tastes very good. Not as moist as the real deal Seltzers Lebanon Bologna but same taste. Next time I will also cold smoke it longer. I did use 2lbs 93 GB and 2lbs 80GB maybe it would be more moist if I added all 80??
 
Welcome, ah K-town, me and my daughter's alma mater. Still go back on a regular basis to see friends, frat brothers, Renningers and K-town pub. Again, welcome from Lower Bucks County on the Delaware. Enjoy.

Good morning and welcome to the forum from a cool, foggy and damp day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about everything.

Man that looks good
