Venison Snack Sticks

[BigJohnT]

Well I finally got a few minutes to try and make some venison snack sticks. We stuffed them yesterday and are smoking them in a snow blizzard.

Grinding up the deer and pork butt.



Mixing the meat and spices.

Smokin in a blizzard, aint this weather great?

We are holding at 16 F and partly cloudy but no snow.

Cant wait to see the finished product.

Dad's chicken coop dont have any chickens in it ?

I got tired of dealin with mother nature and moved mine in the shed for good.

[BigJohnT]

We put the chickens in the Big Easy!

I got a Big Easy for christmas, that baby works great.

What ratio of deer to pork did you use ?  I use 60/40

[BigJohnT]

yea about 60/40.

I love a roasting hen patted with a little EVOO and rubbed with some dry rub then off to the BE... The most juicy chicken you ever ate.

[OU812]

I've been rubbin the bird with butter smokin at 250 F then pull out at 135 F and drop in the hot BE and pull out of there when the IT hits 170 F

Juicy and smokey.

[BigJohnT]

Nice touch with the smoke, I'm too lazy and just plop it into the BE and get a beer  8)

That stuffer looks just like mine but the shafts come out closer to the front on mine. That stuffing tube looks just like the one I have too.  ;D

BTW the snack sticks came out perfect according to my other brother John... I was not there for the finish, I scampered home before the 12" of snow piled up.
