How do I smoke my kielbasa

[smokeamotive]

Hey ya'll, haven't been on here in quite a while, ( life has it's demands) . Made up 10 lbs of Kielbasa yesterday but not sure how to smoke it. Should I smoke it till fully cooked or should I smoke it for a couple three hours and then finish it by poaching in water?

I smoke mine at 100 ish degrees for several hours.... then up the temp to 150 ish for up to 24 hours until it is done.... That way your sausage won't have a fat-out....

I'm assuming your recipe has cure#1.
Remove from fridge let hang and start to dry casing 1hr at room temp while I turn smoker to 225 to heat up. Then put sausage in smoker and
Set temp to 130 1hr no smoke
140 2hr roll smoke
150 1hr roll smoke
160 1hr roll smoke. Check internal temp. No more smoke needed.
Pull at 152 if not there yet bump to 170 and check every 30 min till done. Good luck
