Hi,
I’ve got a 3D and have used it mainly for brisket, ribs and shoulder. I’m going to make old fashioned wieners in the not so distant future using sheep casing, and need to smoke the stuffed sausages @ 160-165 to an internal temp of 152.
Who has direct experience with the temp at which pellets will produce viable smoke in our smokers? I assume the heating element gets hella hot initially which might start the process, but once the chamber comes to temp—things might cool off enough to be ineffective. I also own an Amazn tube and was thinking I could program a smoke temp of 163—and supplement (if no smoke from the cubes in the firebox) with the smoke tube. Questions is-will there be enough air and or temp to keep the pellets going. Also thinking about feeding it air via an aquarium pump thru the grease drain.
I’ve looked at the Bella Generator, but due to my state of residence-AK…getting it here is prohibitively expensive. Smokin-It will not ship USPS. Might get one in the future during a visit to the Midwest.
thanks for your thoughts
Peter
