Hi Everyone,
My kids have been on me to make and smoke pepperoni. There does not seem to be much info on the forum. Can you please post your recipies
I haven't tried it, but I found this on the recipe site:

The Len Poli recipes are always good too. This one is a little different than Stickbowcrafter but it does describe how to age the pepperoni.

I have also seen some people talking about beef sticks, is that something similar
I have never made pepperoni but from what I understand pepperoni is not normally smoked. It is dry cured and aged. That being said, I do buy Hormel brand pepperoni sticks then remove the casing, split down the middle, then cold smoke for 1-2 hours. I normally do this if there is room in the smoker while doing cheese. I also allow it to age/mellow for 1-2 weeks like I do with my cheeses. It is the best pepperoni I've had. It is even better on pizza etc.
Bushman,
Hi-Mountain has pepperoni sticks kits. I bought one but haven't had the time to do yet.
