Good looking sticks Curt. So how long will this batch last. What is the best way to make the collagen casings keep their snap?

After mixing in the seasonings cover and let sit at room temp wile I get every thing ready

Warm up the smokers to 160 F, you will loose allot of heat wile loading, this way every thing in the smoker has more carry over heat, got 2 bricks in mine

Stuff, cut to length, organize on racks, place racks on my rack holder upper and allow to come to room temp, my processing room temp is 64 F

Put racks in smoker, turn smoker temp down to 110 F, vent stuck wide open

One hr later start smoke and raise temp to 120 F, I did 3 hr Pecan on these

One hr later raise the temp to 130 F

One hr later raise temp to 140 F

One hr later dump and refill water pan with HOT water and raise the temp to 150 F and rotate the racks top to bottom/front to back. This batch the bottom 3 racks took on color so they went on top and the 3 on the top went in there place

One hr later raise the temp to 160 F and do the rotate thing, the ones with the most color go on top and the ones with the least go on the bottom

One hr later raise temp to 170 F and do the rotate thing

Keeping the temp at 170 F do the rotate thing every hr till there done, IT of 152 F

When there done place racks on the rack holder upper and allow to cool and bloom, i use a fan to speed up the cooling and give the casing that "snap" when ya bite into them

Have fun!
