Hello everybody, I got a bradley six rack digital smoker about four months ago. I really love it. I have smoked pork roasts,ribs,cheese with no problem. Trying some venison bologna tomorrow, bought the kit from lem to try. Any helpful hints to make this turn out good? What flavor pucks would you recomend? Temp and times? Thank you in advance.

Welcome! Whereabouts in IL? There are a few of us here from up near the Quad Cities, Springfield, and other points South..

WAY up there, then.. The Seemores are not too far away from you.

Good luck with the bologna. I've got some of the Lem kits, but haven't tried any of them yet.

Yep way up there. I am going to give this kit a try. Sounds pretty straight forward, but time will tell.

10.5 is up near you, over in I-O-WAY... He's a bologna hound. You might try searching through some of his old posts..

Here is one he took to the extreme:

And a repost w/ some casings suggestions:

Quick tip for searching the forum, Google can help you out:

Just pop in "venison bologna site:forum.bradleysmoker.com", and let it rip.
