Low Temp Smoker for Sausage

[Finn16]

I'm looking for a vertical smoker, and accessories if needed, that will allow me to smoke 20 lbs of venison sausage at 100F +/- 10 degrees for 3-4 hours. I am not interested in hitting 160 degrees to have it cooked. It will be boiled for 12 minutes before eating.

I'm not sure if a vertical offset like the Dyna-Glo Signature Vertical Offset would get down to 100 degrees or not. Also wondering if using a smoke generator alone like a A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker would get a smoker up to 100 degrees.

Thanks for the help.

Get an old latch handled refrigerator out of the junkyard, with a hole knocked out the lower side. Take a 55 gallon drum and cut it in 1/2. Prop the fridge up onto the first 1/2 cut of the barrel. Then tap a stovepipe coming off the other 1/2 cut 55 gallon drum (with a hole in the side/bottom for your coals to go in). Burn a fire down, toss the coals into the 55 gallon (now 25 gallon) "heat box" with some wet chips-- wall-ah!

I used to buy BBQ from an old timer years back and this was his rig. He could smoke 40 lbs a day (and did selling it out of his little store on the side of town in Hobbs NM- "People's BBQ"). I also did the same thing with a $20 metal storage shack bought at an auction ($99 back in the day- cheap sliding doors and all) and made up the same 55 gallon drum fire pit. AC guy had old duct (free) I got and "tapped" into it. I can walk into my "cold smoker" and store meat over winter with a small fire always going. I use it (with my wife's cloths drying racks from Walmart) for smoking 100's of lbs of sausage at a time

Old school, but it works!

Masterbuilt 30” Digital Electric smoker

I like the 40 inch. I prefer to hang my sausage when I smoke it. 40 is better for hanging it IMO.

Will the Masterbuilts hold temp as low as 100 as is or would I need to get the Slow Smoker accessory?

I’ve never went as low as 100 degrees. Lowest I go is 140 for smoking meat

The Masterbuilt has a setting as low as 100. I'd suggest the 40 with the mailbox mod. At 100 degrees the burner isn't gonna be on enough to make decent smoke.

I wondered about that as well. I am assuming you guys have the electric model?

Masterbuilt also makes a smoke box that works really well. Attaches where chip tray goes and cost $60. Can smoke with no heat if you want. Handy if you don't want to screw with the mailbox.

It will hold enough chips to keep a heavy smoke going for about 4-5 hrs.

I would do the smoke generator or the mailbox mod. If you don't the light your chips with a torch. They sit in a tray over the burner. Burner is on a thermostat, you don't get good smoke without a mod of some sort.

The amaze will if it’s 90 degrees out side..

I use the amaze to cold smoke, via a ply wood box I built

I have a Yoder pellet smoker. I can run the fan in it without running the burner. I do this and put an Amaz N smoker tube in it to cold smoke cheese. If it is cold outside, it will not reach 100, but I don't want it to reach 100 for cold smoking . In fact I do the cheese when it is below 50 outside.

I am curious, why 100?
