I have always hung my snack sticks in the past. This time I'm going to try racking them.

When you cut them to length to fit the racks do you tie both ends ? It looks like some just leave the ends open.

I just leave them open. Does not seem to dry out much.

I tie and stuff a long stick, then cut with scissors to fit the rack. I do not retie, just leave open.

Thanks! That will be much easier than trying to tie each end of every stick.

Ok, you got me, I can't make up my mind but when the ticks and chiggers are gnawing at my legs I kinda prefer winter...
