Are you smoking it to cook it or are you smoking it as part of a cure?

Smoke to cook at your usual temperatures, turn them if you have them on the grates, so that they get cooked evenly, keep an eye on the internal temperatures, and take them past 165°, for the standard HD answers for ground meat products.

I haven't made sausage yet, bacon, pastrami, ham I've made them, but I've not got a grinder, so no ground meat products.

Wildfire, that's a very vauge question. There are many answers. It sounds like you have a lot of research to do. It can get a little complicated, to cure or not to cure,fry, boil, or smoke? Handling of the meat and prep is a big issue. You need to get on sausage making sites and read,read and read some more. If you don't know what your doing you could become deathly ill. I'm not trying to scare you because it is a rewarding hobby. Like I said, do some research than come back with questions if you have any. Happy browsing.
