If you have a 22.5 weber kettle, these work wonders:

I bought one and used it for a long time.  Then I finally gave in and bought a brand new 2009 model WSM, with the new features, thermometer, etc.  I use my WSM, well, a few times a year.  The Smokenator is easier to operate for smaller quantities of food...up to a modest size brisket or turkey.

It's a combo of the cook and the cooker and knowing how to use your tools of Q.

Anyone know if you can easily use a WSM or UDS for smoking sausage?  I'm talking sub 200F temps, and possibily some sort of rack to hang multiple coils?

Sure do...

They can be loaded on top as shown and on the lower rack as well.  Smoked sausage is one of my favorites.

If you want really cool smoking...sorry for the incessant reposting, but:

Love this gadget.  I've missed out on cold smoked cheese all summer, I'm gearing up for a nice winter cold smoking season.  Zero heat, nice light trickle of smoke.  Won't cook the sausages, though.

Don't worry, my enthusiasm may wane a bit when I try it, again, at subzero temperatures and incessantly swear at it for not lighting and staying lit.  I think it operates best at cool/cold temperatures, not necessarily freezing temps!

venison tenderloin....

soaked 24 hours in buttermilk and drained off.  seasoned 24 hours with sea salt, dizzy pig raising the steaks and dizzy pig dizzy dust.

seared on the spider and brought it up and cooked it to 130 internal.

Nice bark on that t-loin.  I've never had a venison t-loin.  I don't hunt, but if I did I'm sure it would be on the grill.

And . . .done.  Plus I ordered some cherry and hickory dust to go in it.  I want to smoke some cheese before Thanksgiving, this will give me a chance to practice a bit and get it done.  Thanks, I hadn't heard of that product.

Rarely gets cold enough to use it safely around here. Maybe a few select days or night. Either that or adapt a fridge somehow.

I don't know, the directions say you can do cheese as long as the ambient is below 86F and the box doesn't get above 92F.  Should be fine most places, at night and for many months during the day.  Salmon should apparently be kept below 86F, but still, as long as it's below 80F for 5 hours it should be no problem.  Even in South Central Texas.  :)

Oh I thought it had to be below 40F? The temps you describe sound better to me. Interesting.
