If I do two racks I lay them flat. any more than that and I use rib racks. 

I think I've seen stainless dish/plate racks at walmart that'd work for that too lol.

what is the temp range on that thing?

I know I've used it up over 325 before.

i was thinking more on the low end.   sausage starts out about 110 and goes up to about 165-170 tops.

I don't know if there is a limit on the low end. 0 maybe?

i couldnt find it on their site.  i was thinking about making a smaller coal basket for my UDS and then trying to smoke sausage in it,  but the lower temps are critical since you dont want to render fat from a sausage product in the smoker.

You could just use a tube as well. I have one that I use on my grill some times.

This guy is using his grill for the chamber and smoking cheese.

I still need some low heat source to gradually amp up over the course of a few hours.  they will have cure in them,  but I still want to get them up over 155 before I package and freeze them... or just eat them all.  ( i dont want to mess with the hot water bath, i want to do my cooking in the smoker)

I will be buying one of their pellet trays for my smoke house when I get that built... but my honey do list isnt leaving much time for that project just yet.

Add a heat lamp bulb? And maybe get fancy and add a rheostat? 


Shit all you really need is an easy bake oven.

i think it will require a bit more heat than that... but there are lots of options.  ( I was going to take the elements and thermostat out of my old electric range and use that, but I decided it would be more fun to crush it with the loader on my tractor.
