Smoking Sausage in a MES

[smokinpreacher]

I got a MES a couple weeks ago and have smoked 2 makings of sausage in it.  I have played with the top vent...Is it better to allow it to be open a little or keep it closed?

are you making homemade sausage? or are you cooking an already prepared sausage?

 

[smokinpreacher]

I am making homemade.  I have been setting temp at 160 and removing sausages when internal temp get 152.

I would keep it open, you want the smoke to be constantly moving

yeah what Raptor said, and I like to start my saw dust burning with a torch b4 I put them in the MES I use a torch and hold it on the bottom of the chip try till it starts smoking real good and then put it in the smoker
