Cooking stall in my smoker HELP
-
I now use the 170 degree water bath for all my summer sausage and snack sticks as it insures a consistently cooked product and saves a lot of time and ensures a better appearance of the finished product, no burnt, shriveled ends etc. I now use the 1 1/2" diameter casings for my summer sausage as it gets to 140 degrees in 1/2 less time then 3" diameter casing I used to use and it also is the perfect size when sliced for crackers on cheese trays. The only other way I know of to reduce cooking times is to add moisture to the smoker with a pan of water with sponges floating on top to increase the moisture which increase the heat transfer but this does not nearly reduce the time that the water bath does so I use this method for whole smoked meats. I use a deep stainless steel steam table pan on my propane burner to do the water bath and have very little trouble regulating the water temp and can get 25 lb of snack sticks or summer sausage in one batch and when it reaches temp I dump the hot water out and add ice and cold water to stop the cooking process and then dry the finished product on a clean large bath towel.

175deg water? How long in the water roughly to achive 160 internal?I use a s/s pot on and induction top w/o lid set on 176f
hog casings take about10-15 minutes
summer sauage 20-30 minutes -
Kinda sounds like the way to go. Once you hit 160deg internal would you ice bath?
Do you have to repack after the cook in the water? I’m very interested in this process. Sounds like it will take the summer sausage and sticks to the next level.
Thanks JohnG5! -
I think often a temperature stall can be attributed to overfilling the smoker with product beyond its heating capacity, or smoking when the ambient temperature is too cold.
Cold ambient temps makes it that much harder for the smoker to raise the internal temperature of the product inside it. -
I would like to say THANK YOU ALL for your help and advice.
This is by far the best form by a long shot. I belong to several fishing message boards, a few of them could take some lessons from the MEATGISTICS site.congo said in Cooking stall in my smoker HELP:

Dr_Pain you are correct about this site. When ever I look at facebook forums each one has trolls who make dumb/hurtful comments. Here you get support even if you post a burnt or subpar product. Thanks waltons and everyone here for being true to the trade.

if you are trying of Finnish of summer sausage or snack sticks you dont need a sous vide, just a metal pan big enough to put the product in covered in water and set it on some kind of burner and heat water to 170degress and adjust burner to keep water between 165-175 degrees. the heat transfer in water is way better than air in an oven

HAHAHA!!! My wife would not be proud of me for this spelling error. Before becoming a school principal she was an English teacher ;). I will blame it on the fact that I have been having issues with my vision since the anesthesia. Thanks for the “welcome back” greeting

I’ve left most every forum and groups just for the reason you have mentioned above. I am still member of a couple of groups on FB but mostly to look at the pretty picture. I have zero footprints

A couple of guys on here love to finish their snack sticks and sausage in a 18 Qt turkey roaster. It is like an oversized crock pot of some kind

Ok Thanks guys the wife would shoot me if I put her roaster on a burner…LOL But I do have a propane turkey fryer that I’ve never cooked a turkey in it works great for making my apple pie…LOL So I can heat water up in that so your saying smoke it to like 140 then put in the water to cook to 155 then put it in a ice bath ???

Yep. That’ll work. Heat the water until it holds at 170.
