Awhile back Hal4UK sent me a bottle of Starnes Sauce via STC.
I have enjoyed it on Pulled Pork sammies. Great Stuff!
I used Greg's Fire-N-Ice BBQ Sticks and modified it to
fit for the Starnes Sticks.
5 pounds 80% ground butt 20% ground beef.
1 tsp. Pink Instacure
3 Tbls. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
3 tsp red pepper, I use a short trip in a grinder
1-1/2 tsp. garlic salt
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. cayenne pepper (add more for xtra heat)
1 tsp. smoked papkria (unsmoked is fine as well)
1/4 cup water (mix with cure)
3/4 cup Starnes Sauce

I mixed up the pork and beef and spices and cure. Then I added the Starnes.

Since they are Starnes Stick I'm using Hickory for Smoke. I started the smoke at
1 in the morning so I won't to baby sit these things.
We'll see if we have "Good Eats" in the morning. ;D
Are they done yet? ;D
HOOOOOO those are going to have a kick!
Are they done yet?
Thems gonna be gooooooood!!
The heat level sounds just right to me.
Started at 1:00 A.M.?
I'll check back around 10:00 they should be close by then.
Atta boy Sonny!! Can't wait to see more pics of this.
Yeah buddy ;D
Going to be good
Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Whoa..
I can see the Starne's in them. How was the taster?
Lookin gooood!!
Cant wait to try some of that Starnes.
Mighty fine job with them sticks my friend.
When they came off the smoker they had a very tangy bite.
A lasting warmth. ;D Now that they have been fridged for a while
the "Bite" has mellowed out. Next batch I will use just enough water
to dissolve the cure and the rest liquids will be Starnes and maybe adjust
the red pepper and cayene down so that the Starnes doesn't compete with them.
Also I will probably up the ratio of beef to pork to 50/50. (Less pork, more Beef)
Nice!

I mixed, stuffed, and racked 5 lbs of sticks in around 30 minutes
by racking them and not playing around withtieing knots. I like that!
Next time I'll make the sticks the length or width of my big smokers racks.
That will be easy peasy and faster. And rack rotations will be simple also.
Sonny
I warned you :D
I dont wanna see you end up like this :D

We can do that!
The vinegar in the Starnes did change the texture of the meat some.
Gonna see what happens after a day of fridge rest.
Hal,
You got a stash for CRG? If not, I live at the source you know. Shipping some out to NE and TX this weekend. I can easily replenish CRG.
Gonna see if they will sell me a case to bring to Krewe du Smoke.

Make sure you dont seal them up tight when you do, they need some air.
Use a container with a loose fitting lid.
Or ifin your using a ziplock bag dont zip it shut, leave about an inch of it open.
The flavors are better 24 hr later, give em time to get acquainted. ;D
Wow they look great nice color
Those look great. Do they come with a supply of asbestos toilet paper. I would put money they are going to burn at both ends.

Did you know when an Aggie sneezes ........ he wipes both ends.
Dang Sonny, Starnes Sticks look good...
I will have to try that. Made a phone call to Starnes BBQ today and talked to Tim and he is shipping me some out today.
Any advice on using the Starnes?

Typically it's an "add-on" to a pulled pork sandwich, just sprinkled on top. However there's nothing typical about this bunch! :D
