Post by: NePaSmoKer on April 02, 2012, 06:41:47 AM
Got 5 lbs of AC 116/Beer & Jalapeno sticks going today. Heading to FL on the 13th.

Forgot to put the Jalapeno powder in the pic.

Same here. I have a nice camera with all the fancy settings and stuff but I can't take good pics with it. It's all that shutter, apperture, iso settings and .... :) you know. The small round dial in mine with the different modes works somewhat. It's just so much easier for me to take a pic with my phone and upload it on the spot. Even though the pics are carpy sometimes at least their there to look at. ;D

Here are the stix after 2 days in my experiment mode.

Real happy on how they got darker.

Shrinkage guessing was about 30%

The process really brought out the tang of the ECA. My wife said really good like store bought slim jims except without all the greasy oozing fat.
