How to Make

  • Step 2: Pack the mixture into casings and make sure both ends are secured tightly using butcher’s twine.

  • Step 3: Insert the meat thermometer at either end and smoke between 250 and 275 degrees for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn smoker off and leave the salami inside the smoker for another 15 minutes.
