The heating element is the culprit so you need to rotate to reduce the dried end. The rotation will vary with your smoke schedule. Keep some notes on when you see that happening and back it up about 30 minutes and rotate around. If you can hang them all the better. Remember if you’re looking, your not cooking.

JCPepper Yeah, that sous vide finish thing is really changing how a lot of people are finishing their sausage at home. It cuts hours off and prevents overly dried sausage.

I had the same problem for years until last week I switched to a vertical offset converted to propane. With the burner off to the side instead of under the sausage I no longer get over done bottoms and under done tops. I also can do 24 inch casings now instead of having to settle for 12 inch cases to keep the bottoms from overcooking. Dyna glo signature vertical offset. Paid $150 for mine brand new and robbed a burner from my turkey fryer.
