Bambi dogs came out nice. The powered mixer was sweet for protein extraction and the new propane offset performed perfectly. Nice even smoke and held 175 throughout the smoke

smokinbubba looks good. did you use cellulose cases? if so, did you have to tie each end. When I made them I couldn’t keep them twisted

kyle yep, love the cellulose cases from waltons. I euro link everything. No more string for me. These are some brats i did a couple weeks ago.

Those brats were hog casings but the cellulose link the same way.

smokinbubba I liked them also. I just had trouble keeping the twist. Ended up just running them straight and cutting them. Also am a big fan of the hot dog mix. I did 50% venison/ 50% beef. turned out awesome. I have no trouble with hog cases. might just have to learn that fancy twist

Took me a bit to get my head around it but once I did, it goes pretty fast. Hangs in the smokehouse nice too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpke8_VczxYWatched the linking video where he does groups of two and groups of three. It looks great, but I wonder if that would affect how well they smoke?
I try and avoid any surface contact between the links while they are in the smoker, and those link clusters make contact in several areas. -
Thanks guys

I don’t get too excited if sausages touch in the smokehouse. I’m more excited that I found a smoker that won’t over cook the bottom of every sausage. The propane converted vertical offset cured this perfectly. Plus it only cost me $150

What did you end up using for a burner when you modified your smoker?

Used a turkey fryer burner bolted to lower grate where charcoal would go. Used a cast iron skillet with lid to house hickory sawdust placed on grill rack just above burner. Ran hose out vent hole . I use the gas valve and damper to control temp. Monitor temp with dual probe remote thermometer. Works so amazing! -
