The Florida Smokeout is getting close so i decided to make some smoked Landjager sausage. This is a 5 pound batch.
My Landjager mix with 1 tsp maple cure.

Resting some to dry the casings.
I'm looking forward to tasting that!
Those really look good. What size casing did you use?
The casing is natural hog 28mm.
Have them in the smokehouse.

I am drooling just thinking about them bad boys.
On my knees bowing to the King!
WOW!!
I want Samples for testing !!! ;D ;D
Oh those look so good! You're making me think that the drive to FL would be worth it.
I went to my neighbors house while the Landjaeger was hanging. Time and temp got away from me :-\
This is what happens when you get a high IT........Fat-out :-\
These got taken to the hollow, the critters will eat good tonight.

That it does....Oh well cant fret about it, time to do another 5 lbs today.
Dang. Wish I was one of your nearby critters!
Ever think about rigging up a controller on your smokehouse to shut it down at an IT target?
Sorry about your loss. Did you count the number of critters that had a smile on their muzzles?
That sucks!! Them dang neighbors and their free beer!!

The smokehouse has a Traeger pellet assy on it. Dont know how i would rig that up to shut off.

This can be done easily by controlling the power to the Treager with a contactor. All for under $65 in parts.
You would need:
Controller (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=14&zenid=e9bba0ce47537a9c80ca93b8c28c3339)

Thanks Mike
I might implement this on my proofer smoker.

I use almost the identical setup for my High Limit Control of my large smoker, just a larger capacity contactor and a cabinet style thermocoupler.

That's the line along which I was thinking. Very simple, get to IT and interrupt the power to the Traeger unit. Then, if you have your back turned or get disrupted the smoker load is saved.

Mike if i take some close up photos of my electronics, heater, fan stuff on my proofer could you tell me if its worth keeping it in and using it for the heat? It all works and has a thermocoupler and switch.
Absolutely Rick.
I love projects! Man I wish I lived closer, we would have that baby smokin' in short order.
Maybe post the photos in a new post. That way some of the other members may have some helpful ideas as well.

You can always program one of the alarms in a pid to act as a high temp. That is what I did with mine.

Its a sweetener that retains the sausage color when freezing.

Man what a bummer those sausages looked so great to start with. Did you at least take a bite out of one to see what they taste like. Say did you get your stuffer plans yet?

Hi Kirby
Yeah i did cut one up, fat-out. I normally dont get to far away from my smokers when doing something ;D things just got away from me.
Maybe tomorrow in the mail.

Hi Pens
That's the route I was going to go with but when I was talking to Suyi from Auber he said if the Thermocoupler, PID or SSR failed, you could have an issue and he recommended going with the system I mentioned above as this was what is used in most commercial operations. By having a completely separate system it will still function if one component in your regular control circuit fails.
Mike
Mike, All the industrial furnaces we build all have a separate over temp thermocouple as well as instrument. If you use an alarm, the only real problem that could happen is if the SSR stuck on, which is very doubtful but possible. Your instrument should be set to fail high if the thermocouple fails. That way it will think it is over the setpoint. Now if the thermocouple were to short out somehow, I have never seen this happen in 18 years, it would read ambient temperature and over heat. So it is true that it is safer to have and extra over temp instrument and thermocouple, I just did not want to put the extra cash into it and feel safe using just the alarm.
Never thought about it on a smoker (or any cooking appliance) but it makes incredible sense. I personally experienced two separate overtemp failures on lab equipment. One was in a small muffle furnace - caused two Pyrex dishes to melt and flow away. It can get exciting when a temp controller fails the wrong way and you get run away heating.
