Load the stuffer

Squirt out some sticks
(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_4328_zpsd6207bb3.jpg) (http://s726.photobucket.com/user/OU812_bucket/media/sausage/100_4328_zpsd6207bb3.jpg.html)
Load up the drying rack to dry a bit abd come up to room temp wile the smoker heats up 120
(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_4338_zpsde375758.jpg) (http://s726.photobucket.com/user/OU812_bucket/media/sausage/100_4338_zpsde375758.jpg.html)
Load the smoker and let dry for one hr with no smoke
(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/sausage/100_4329_zps70c2643a.jpg) (http://s726.photobucket.com/user/OU812_bucket/media/sausage/100_4329_zps70c2643a.jpg.html)
Then raise the smoker temp to 130 and start the smoke,,,,2 hr Pecan. After one hr at 130 raise the temp to 140 for one hr. When the smoke is done its time to rotate the racks.
The one on the bottom turns front to back and goes on top and the one above the bottom rack turns front to back and goes to the bottom slot then every rack turns front to back and down one. Do this rotate thing till the IT is 152

Or in the spice sections of most grocery stores you can buy generic labeled "Seasoned Salt" or "Cajun Seasoning" or a slew of "branded" versions.

Its a good seasoning. i am sure the definition of "Cajun" varies by manufacturer, so just go with what you like.
