I see you had to use the HIGH DOLLAR air piercing device on some air bubbles. Looks good Nepas

I second the hickory. However at times i do use pecan, alder, oak, apple, sassafrass, maple and cherry

Hi NePas

Lumpy's back!

Did you use exactly 5 LBS of meat for one collagen tube (not sure thats the word for it)
Everytime I make sausages I get so carried away that I forget to remember how much meat I used.

Missed this one

Great looking sticks NePas, I really like the way Hickory kinda gives a red hint to the sticks.

Hi Lumpy, Welcome back.

I used just a little over 5 lbs. Started them at 140* with PID for 3 hrs then bumping the temps and times to 170* until done.

Put smoke to the sticks at 140* for 1 hr 40 mins then smoke at the 170* for 2 hrs. I used hickory pellets on the 170*
