I started a 11lb batch of snack sticks today. This is on the recipe site, I only made minor changes. I used 17mm Mahogany casings from Bass Pro. I will be smoking these tomorrow.
After Grinding and mixing all ingredients, about ready to stuff. The recipe called for 1 cup of water I used 3.

Looking good SIA.
I am ready to get my BS behind me so I can get started with SAUSAGE!
Same recipe I made. I had to add more spice to mine to get the kick I was looking for. Hope yours turns out great. It is a good recipe to begin with.
Yes it is a great recipe. I kicked up the heat a little but the kids won't eat it if its too spicy. I will have to make my own batch soon :)
Here they are all racked up ready for a little drying time in the 80L

Lookin good, got my mouth waterin just thinkin about some of them sticks.
Are the done yet, are they done yet, hu hu, are they done? ;D
Cant wait to get my stuffer back together and makin some sticks my self.
They are done, but can't take the picture until I get home tonight. They got done so late I just put them in the fridge with paper towels in between layers and will package them up tonight. Used cherry wood this time since I was out of hickory, and from the taste test last night they are very good.

Cherry does sound good on a spicy snack stick, havent used cherry for a wile.
Ok all finished up and they are tasty.
Ran out of vac bags so had to make due till I get to the store.

The kids actually asked for them with a little more spice this time so I kicked it up a notch, I should make a 5 lb batch for me and kick it up 5 notches.
