Got my casings being conditioned and the meat in the fridge.

If it stops raining i can get these smoked up.

Going back to the tie way. When i lived in Lancaster County PA we had 2 large farmers mkt in the area. The butchers would make their sticks like this.

Got my PID running 130 thru 170

No water or smoke the 1st hour at 130.

140 i will add hot water to the bowl and hickory smoke. Vent full open all the time. Going to smoke from 140 thru 160 PID time.

I dont probe the meat. Can cause fat to cavitate next to the probe tip and give false reading. Only use ambient PID temp probe.
