Jonathon what’s the the maximum time before cooking you can hold a meat mixture with eca

Jonathon thanks
Do you have a recommendation for a vertical smoker that I would be able to control temperature for snack sticks well
I have a trager but I can’t hang in it I can only put on grates and heat is to direct

Scott Steinocher do you keep dial strictly on smoke for the first hr
I did smoke then increase to lowest setting
Roll on the right got a bit scorched
Also I had a bit of fat out as well
I will try next time with door proped open
Still looking for a vertical so I can hang

Chicken Arty thanks for the tip
