That would be my guess. The bottom of the pot was hotter from direct contact with the flame than the rest. Did you use a steamer basket or trivet to keep the product in the middle of the pot?

Would an ice bath have helped at the end?

I would agree that you probably had some hot spots in your kettle near the bottom, and most likely was what split your casings.

processhead I think next time I’ll suspend them somehow so there all at the same depth. Gonna do 20 lbs of summer sausage next but I think I’ll smoke em till 140 then finish in the oven that worked better last year.

With a large kettle full of hot water, you can do a couple of things to avoid breakage.
First, while heating the water, give it a stir once in while to help get all the water to an even temperature.
Next, you can shut the burner off just before you put the sausage in the kettle. Bring the water up to 175-180 degrees. With the heat removed you won’t get an hot spots.
Monitor the internal temperature of the sausage and remove and chill when you get to the target temperature.You can try and suspend them. In my experience, sausages want to float horizontally on the surface unless you weight one end or something like that.

processhead I like that idea it sure didn’t take long to come to temp after I put them in the water.

Dr_Pain Sounds like you’re healing well. I know you’ve probably been told a thousand times, but “baby steps”. We’re still praying for you.
