Big Batch of Sausage in the new Big Smoker!

[smokeitall]

It was a very long weekend getting the new smoker going and then doing 25lbs of summer sausage, 25lbs of venison bacon, 10lbs of Greg's spicy snack sticks, 20 lbs of fresh venison italian brats, and 6lbs of pork sausage.

Had a couple of small problems, melted two SSR's (I didn't have a heatsink and tried running it without one...big mistake), and one element wasn't quite enough so I added a second.  Running a contactor controlled by my PLC and 6" touchscreen and all is good now.  I still have to finish the wiring and hang my electrical enclosure but at least I'm smoking.

Also Thank you CRG for sending me the 5" hole saw, worked perfect.  Let me know if you want me to ship it back to you or send it on to the next custom smoker being built.






I am going to do another 25lbs of summer sausage this weekend, yes it turned out that good  :)

I did some adjustment on my big smoker and gonna do a small batch in it maybe Christmas day.

I'll adjust the loads up till I find it capacity.

I hope it at least 50 lbs.

Those look great! I recently started getting into making sausage, but it is very difficult to find casings in my area, not to mention finding cure!

You've got a big air gap under that sausage - looks like you need more sausage  ;D :D

Dang it anyhow. Now I need to get mine up and running. Looks Good Scott. I will still need to put some insulation on my unit.
