My second try at summer sausage

[Tenpoint5]

Thanks again 10.5, you guys are a great help and insperation. Exspecialy after seeing those big chubs. Buy the way was it hard to controll the fatting out on that big guy.

Actually no it wasn't. It didn't fat out at all. BUUUUUUT it was in there for 20 or so hours getting to temp.

 Thanks 10.5, I just shut off the SG and rotated the chubs. Every thing going smoothly for now. Although the temp out side is droping, about 30 and starting to blow around. IT temp is stalled right now at 138, so it might be a long night. I have to hand it bradly, even with the cool temps my OBS still doesn,t have any problem mataining cabinet temps. I also checked out the auber pid and i,m going to order one before my next sausage smoke.

You can fill a roaster with water to 170-180* and poach the chubs to bring the IT up in them. I have done this as Chris has too.

Thanks NEPAS, I,ll give it a few more hours. But if it seems like it going to take to long I,ll try that. Thanks for the great tip. ;D ;D

  Just went out side and rotated the chubs, looking great. IT temp is at 147, so with any luck it will be done befor 8:00. ;D ;D ;D ;D

So you made it past the 130-135 stall.

[dbondy]

 Yeh passed the stall, I still figure about another hour, maybe even a little more. Now i,ll get the ice bath started. Will post pics when done.  Thanks again to all you guys. :D :D :D

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT put your maverick meat probe in the water!!!!! IT WILL DESTROY THE PROBE and you will forever be getting wild wacked out readings from that probe. Trust me on this one!! Although the replacement probe does have a longer cable on it that's a plus ;D

Ditto on that! Any moisture getting into the probe where the wire is can ruin one for good. Learned that the hard way with a different brand.

Thanks for the tip guys. Last time I just used my instant read thermo, I just proped it up so the electronics didn,t get wet. I would of never thought that the maverick would get messed up. Thanks again. :)
