Yesterday I decided to make some kielbasa and pepperoni. So I stuffed them last night and this morning I smoked them.
Loaded them in the Bradley and set the PID at 120 and then for a graduated temp rise.
Here they are in the Bradley:
After about 2 hours I went to check on them. They looked almost done, but it was too soon. I checked their temp and they were in the 160*. This shouldn't be so I figured something was wrong. Looking around it dawned on me. While I set the PID, I never put the probe in the smoker. Duhh! So the temp just kept climbing and had a bit of a fat out. Tasted one of each, they were on the dry side but not totally ruined. But not to the quality I expect or want.
Put them in an ice bath and here they are blooming.
I'll fry some up and see how they taste. But I was making them for appetizers at my daughter's upcoming baby shower, so I most likely will have to make a new batch.
Oh well.
