Quick question

[tythur111386]

Do I fill water bowl in electric smoker when smoking summer sausage. I want my summer sausage dry so I would assume no water but I have no clue thanks
P.S does the same go for jerky

I never use water in my electric smoker, many others actually fill them with sand to help diffuse heat.

no water for ether sausage or jerky ... are you saying you want the meat dry or just the outside ?

Thanks for the info guys yea I like if pretty dry kind of like salami sometimes you get summer sausage and its pretty greasy I don't really like it like that

I don't care for "greasy" ss either. I don't use any pork in my SS or snack sticks. The batch I made this weekend was 70% venison and 30% 80/20 beef. Taste and texture is great and not greasy at all.
