I cook my Summer Sausage to 145° and hold it there for 10 - 15 minutes to get a moister product.Bateria doesn't even start to die until you hit 126 and the lower the emp. the longer it takes to get a proper kill of them.
If you look at my attachment. Everything under 140 is considered the danger zone. Bateria will all die to a Log7 time frame time, but will take 380 minutes of it. 139³ IT takes 15 minutes. You are not getting high enough to even start killing bacteria.
Are you trying to cold smoke with cure #2? This would not be Summer Sausage. Or working in Celsius?
