    Cure Question

    Yup, cure #2 at 1/4 teaspoon per 1-1/4 pound. The main difference is cure#1 is salt and sodium nitrite. Cure #2 is salt, sodium nitrite, and sodium nitrate. Cure #1 is used when you are going to be cooking the meat, and cure #2 is used for dry cured meats. Think of cure #2 as a time released cure.

    what's fatting out?

    Yes, also don't put sausage in a hot smoker. It can make the casings tough.

    what's fatting out?

    Don't run your smoker any higher than 165 and you should be able to avoid the fat melting. Sausage is done at 152 degrees then plunge into ice water to cool to 100 degrees. Keep sausage from being shriveled up.

    Pellet Grill Purchase to do Sausage

    180 degrees is too high to smoke sausage. I own a RecTeq but bought a Master built MES30 for doing sausage and fish.
