[Southshore30]

Hello everyone. Saying hello to everyone. Been an amateur smoker for a few years now with a pit barrel cooker and just recently purchased a camp chef smoke vault 24. Seasoned it a few days ago and this morning I fired it up at 6am and loaded it with 25lbs of venison trail bologna that I ground and stuffed yesterday. I almost went electric for the low temp ability but I don’t have much faith in the longevity of the electronics so decided to go gas. Smoke vault is holding at 200* and smoking strong but it’s 20* outside and a little breezy. I started them in the oven at 150 to dry out the casings. I’ll post after pics too

Haha no, it’s Cape Cod Massachusetts. I use southshore30 as username for a lot of the forums and log ins because it’s the model of my boat and it’s easy to remember. It’s probably the coldest day yet this winter

Ah ha! I live in AZ, we don't do snow, ever! RAY

Welcome from West Virginia. Talking about Striped bass has me missing the cost. I’m a transplanted yankee. From Connecticut originally.

All smoked out! It came out pretty good. Ends got a little overcooked on one side of the smoker. I never remember to stuff them shorter so I couldn’t hang them, they laid horizontally on the racks. Tastes delicious. For 10lbs/3 of the logs I mixed in some jalapeño peppers and some high temp cheddar cheese. Those are a little less firm if a texture but tast great anyway.

Brrrr, you have reminded me like PoukieBear did earlier why it’s not so bad in So Cal. Looks like you had some good results there. Welcome to the forum.
