I'm making some salami this weekend.  I'll be stuffing it into some LEM 1 1/2 x 12" Fibrous Casings.  Will smoke penetrate these at all or am I wasting pucks?  Thanks in advance.
There's room for all of God's critters right next to the mashed taters and gravy!

Does anyone ever smoke for 3-4 hours and then let them swim in a hot waterbath until they reach the desired IT?

Absolutely!

I usually don't go by time in the smoker as much as I look for that nice mahogany color on them. It is typically around 4 hours though and the IT is usually around 135 degrees when I give them the hot water bath. I keep the hot water bath around 160 degrees and take the sausage to 155 degrees IT. Then I let them them hang to bloom at room temp for a minimum of 2 hours or more.
