Product Information

Kielbasa are typically smoked for between two and four hours. The slower and longer they smoke for, the more tender and juicier they will be. Ideally, you want to give your sausages as long as possible in the electric smoker, but you may not have four hours to spend.

Minimal monitoring and temperature control is required. The only essential part is that your kielbasa must reach an internal temperature of 160F before being removed and served.

Total cooking time, variety of wood and the increments in which you turn up the heat are all open to experimentation. Smoked kielbasa stored in the fridge will last around four days. If you freeze yours, you can keep it for up to three months before it declines in quality. Smoking Kielbasa In A Masterbuilt Smoker If you’re using a Masterbuilt, it’s best to run the smoker on its highest setting for 40-60 minutes. This is only a visual change though, so you can skip this step if you’re not concerned about aging and darkening.

If you want your Kielbasas to look super authentic, by all means, flip them 2-3 times during cooking. It won’t do anything special for the flavor though.

Kielbasa or Polish sausage is known for its intensely smoky flavor, and one of the easiest ways to produce it is with an electric smoker. Kielbasa can be thin, fat, white, round, linked or made with blood. These sausages typically contain garlic, juniper and marjoram though you’re encouraged to experiment with different flavor combinations. There is no direct flame and no polluting fuels. Plus, electric smokers give cooks more control over temperatures so they can achieve the perfect balance of smokiness and tenderness. Provided your electric smoker is working correctly, you shouldn’t need to turn the kielbasa during cooking. It’s more of a visual technique used for creating those barbecue style grate marks.

The first step is to dry out the casings by placing the Kielbasa in an electric smoker preheated to 130F. Keep the drafter open and leave the Kielbasa there for 20-30 minutes or until completely dry. Over the course of approximately three hours, gradually smoke your Kielbasa by incrementally turning up the heat until the smoker reads 200F. The sausages are only ready once they’ve reached an internal temperature of 160F, using a meat thermometer. Once thoroughly smoked, plunge them directly into ice cold water so that they stop cooking. Hang them up to dry, ready for your next barbecue. Additionally, the smoker includes a timer that enables you to preset the smoking duration. It will automatically shut off when this time elapses. However, you can also learn how to smoke kielbasa in an electric smoker and serve great tasting food every time. Once you know when to adjust the heat, it’s as simple as prep, smoke, turn and smoke some more. Albeitawi S, Hamadneh J, Al‐Shatanawi TN, Al mehaisen L, Al‐Zubi M. Effect of hookah (water pipe) smoking on semen parameters. Andrologia. 2020;52(10). doi:10.1111/and.13723 Some people like to enhance the appearance of their kielbasa by leaving it to bloom at room temperature. This simply means hanging the sausages in a space with good ventilation that’s not overly hot or too cold.Add your choice of wood to the smoker box and place it on the grill. Wait until the wood chips begin lightly smoking. The drier the wood, the cleaner its combustion and smoke. However, some people choose to dampen their chips because moist wood smolders better and smokes for longer. More so, the smoker affords you the flexibility of choosing between hot smoke and cold smoke, or a combination of both. This means that you can either choose to cook the food before smoking it, smoke before cooking, or do both simultaneously. With an electric smoker, a convection system gently cooks the kielbasa by evenly circulating heat and smoke from every direction.

Pediatrics. 2014;134(2):227–234. doi:10.1542/peds.2014-0538 Some users say Masterbuilt’s probes are slightly inaccurate, so you might want to consider using a separate temperature device or both at the same time. Use your test sausages for probing and monitoring. If you poke holes in the others, the juices will run out and the kielbasa turn out dry. This has dimensions (HxWxD) of 85.5x53.1x50.3 cm, heating element rating of 800W and is well insulated.

The MasterBuilt MES140B Digital Electric Smoker is essentially the same as the MES130B in terms of design. However, when it comes to functionality, there are slight differences. The MES140B has a heating element rating of 1200W which affords a higher range of temperature variation. It is also larger in size than the MES130B. Consequently, it is equipped with a handle and two wheels so that you can move it around with ease.
