NePa, looks great! I have second batch of venison sticks(honey maple) in the fridge ready to be smoked tomorrow when I get home from work. My question is what do you use to crimp the ends? What wood you use for the honey maple sticks? I measure mine 12" and tie each end, they look great but takes sometime to do. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Yeah it does take time to tie the ends or in links, Just pinch between your thumb and finger  ;D

Look great...how do they taste? Is the sweet stronger than the spicy hence sweet and spicy snack stix?

To me they taste sweet with a hint of pepper, to my daughters BF hey likes the tang of the ECA with the pepper bite.

My wife thinks more sweet than spicy
