Hello,
I am a little paranoid and I want to make sure that our summer sausage is good to eat. I was processing summer sausage and the total prep time before getting it back into the fridge was at 2 hours or slightly over. Between the time it took to grind the meat, add seasoning, cure, re-grind, and then finally stuff the casings was like I said earlier roughly two hours. It may have went over slightly (15 min). Do you think that I am ok? I am just wondering because this is largest batch and it took a while. I used the 25 lb kit from LEM and made about 8 logs.
 
You should be okay. They say to not put the sausage into the smoker until it is room temp. Now if was very warm in the kitchen, then I probably would have refrigerated it.
