I took a shot at Greg's spicy sticks but took out 1/2 of the salt and substituted with a cup of soy vay veri veri teriyaki sauce. I added a 1/4 cup of extra hot sauce.
I started with some burger that my brother-in-law wanted to use up. It was 80/20 which turned out a little too high of fat content for me.
Here are the species and treiyaki ready to go.

First I added the spices and did a quick mix with the 5 gallon mixer. I have beefed up the mixer drive shaft from an earlier design

About 4 hours in the smoker. No water bath needed for these. Now on the counter to cool.

vac sealed and ready for the freezer. They turned out great. Though a little fatter then I would have normally have done but the flavor was great. Plenty of bite and the salt and Teriyaki turned out fine.

I will be doing this again but I think I will use a lower level of fat.
What a great post and tutorial Kirby!
The videos add a real nice touch and the product is superb.

They look really good. What IT did you bring them up to? I am impressed that you got the done in the smoker in 4 hrs. I find that it mine take between 6 to 8 hrs to get to 152. Would love to know your secret.
great looking sticks! :)
Kirby...well done..we really enjoyed the videos too, will have to try this in the future...
They look pretty good from here!!
Ditto with that. them looks good.
nice pics and vid. ;D
Great looking stix there, Kirby!
You always do such large quantities, I'm impressed!
One of these days I may have to 'Go Big" & do a batch bigger than 'just' 5 or 10 pounds! Using both the bucket mixer & stuffer cannon, as you've demonstrated in your vids, I'm more confident to take the plunge.

After about 45 minutes of drying time at 125F I kicked it up to 155-160 with a heavy smoke. I hit 152 and the oil was starting to show. I have 4 fans in the smoker and it is like a convection oven. Things just get more smoke on them and get up to temp sooner.
the fan thing sounds a plan.
Nice work, you've raised the bar yet again.
wow - those look REALLY tasty!
Great looking sticks :)
