I’ve been making some different fresh sausages, but now I’m dying to try my hand at kielbasa. I’d like to make some fresh & smoked, but I only have a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker. I’m concerned about the cook schedules and how low & consistant I can keep the temp. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks
bleathery welcome, processhead is spot on with his recommendations. Placing the fire on one side and the meat on the other helps, but really reduces the amount of meat you can do. I also have found that using a cheaper chain retail store brand works better for lower/slower heat since the briquettes are not as good as compared to the quality brands. A pan of water with a grate on top for the meat resting on the actual grill can also slow down the cook.

The water pan bleathery mentioned works great. If you start with it full of ice, it will help hold the lower temp longer. Just have to keep an eye on it as it might need topped off after it melts.

bleathery Welcome to the neighborhood, you will enjoy this community for certain as there is a lot to learn. I want to help you get off to the right start as well, make sure you pick “Team Blue” for your profile, it will help you immensely. There is just so much out there right now & so much detail, all of it helpful. However, just starting out I would say keep it simple while you develop your techniques. Then you can venture out into some of the other areas & there is much fun & deliciousness to be had.

bleathery welcome. I’m sure along with the advise already given, you will find meatgistics people are ready to help you make the best product. I have been a meatgistic’er for over a year and have not seen an unkind remark here. There are some fairly small electric smokers out there. Check offer up and facebook if price is a concern. You may find one under 75 bucks. Good luck with all your meat projects.

So again as I mentioned I’m a newbie to the site, what’s the difference between team blue & team orange?

orange and blue are just jabs , a digital electric smoker is easy to control the temp. on and by adding the cold smoking attachment helps a lot
