Elk summer sausage

[brew]

Spring cleaning the freezer and made 65 lbs of summer sausage from a elk from last fall.  Got the stainless insulated oven from my cousin and just a propane burner in the bottom...works awesome.  Put some smoker pellets in an old cast iron skillet and wrapped in aluminum foil

Does the smoke penetrate your casings? I've cooked them with and without smoke and didn't notice a real difference.

I feel like it does...yeah I've done them just in the oven at 180 and they come out fine

That’s awesome. I’m going to try it for the first time his year with my deer.

how hot did the smoker get? Was it hard to regulate the temperature?  Im wanting to make my own smoker.

That unit is very well insulated...started at 140 and 2 hours later stopped at 180.  Once the temp is around 180ish you can fine tune it with the damper on the chimney

very nice, I have always wanted to build a large smoker. even one that I could use a very small fire in the bottom for heat and smoke incase the power went out for a long time.  I'll probably just buy a heating element they sell online.
