Bologna hanging getting a dry out of 140* no smoke for 1 hour. Then vent 1/2 open and 5 pucks of hickory at 140* After smoke bumped to 150 no smoke for 2 hours. PID going to 160* for 4 hours then Final heat at 175* until i get my IT. I will have my water pan 1/2 full.

Do you have to flip the sausage over during the cook to even things out. I would think the bottom, nearer the heat would get to temp much faster than the top.

When i was doing in my 4 rack i did, but the 6 rack is better. Not had to flip yet.


So its done now, shot the IT to 156* in no time. Gave it a bath to lower to 100* and now hanging for awhile.

Ain't it funny how them dang things can be at 136* forever you turn your back for 2 minutes and they jump to 156 on you. When you wanted to pull at 153*

Thats some good lookin bologna NePas

The 6 rack works great for doin sausage like this dont it?

I did a test in mine with 2 probes in the sausage, one in the top and one in the bottom of the sausage, the temp from top to bottom of the sausage is only 9 deg.
