                Good so far. My daughter got a nice buck Sunday so she was excited. Plenty of doe sightings.

                        Hey all this is Mike in Las Vegas. I have been smoking and making sausage for a couple of years but new to this site. I have struggled in the past for consist results so hoping reading up here will get me there. I have a Camp Chef Pellet Grill that I will be using now as I also have an upright gas model but could never get temperatures low enough. I fear the same problem with this pellet grill as 160 is the lowest setting. I am going to try to run it with the lid open and that should keep the temp down around 140 for the first hour and then move up the scale. Anyone that has tried this or other ideas would be great. I do also have a question on the making of snack sticks in your video. You say to cut to length when putting in the smoker? I have never done this for fear it will all just push out the end while smoking. Did I hear that wrong or is that what you instruct? Thanks again and I love this site. Also, without using the cure accelerators is their a time that is too long to leave before smoking? I like to do prep on 1 day and then smoke the next and leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Thanks again.

                              Sincitylv Nope, you didnt read wrong. If you cut them you might get some bulbs at the end but any dripping of meat should be minimal if present at all. Especially if you use a binder like sure gel or soy protein blend. Protein extraction should help everything hold together and if you atre using the right casings (smoked or clear collagen) they are strong enough to hold up to this.

                              @J-B-Mac I don’t get it but I enjoy a good joke at Londyns expense! Just kidding, she’s an awesome young woman with a very bright future ahead of her!

                                    I recently made some venison summer sausage, I used a Excalibur seasoning , carrot fiber and cure, the taste was great but the outside was a bit chewy . does anyone know what causes this? Thanks Dan

                                          danf Welcone! Start a new post and give us some more information like smoke schedule, fat content, ice bath time, and anything else you can think of! If you don’t have time for that then quickly it could have been case hardening from cooking too fast or too dry an environment which would be either your smoke schedule or the relative humidity inside your smoker or could be partial fat out, which is where you don’t get enough protein extraction and it cooks out of the meat and gets pushed to the outside of the sausage.
