Doing some Greg's Spicy Snack Sticks w/Pics

smokeitall · February 20, 2010, 07:43:15 PM

I started a 11lb batch of snack sticks today. This is on the recipe site, I only made minor changes. I used 17mm Mahogany casings from Bass Pro. I will be smoking these tomorrow.

After Grinding and mixing all ingredients, about ready to stuff. The recipe called for 1 cup of water I used 3.

Got a little bit stuffed, I REALLY love the metal gears I upgraded my Grizzly to.

More to come.

Same recipe I made. I had to add more spice to mine to get the kick I was looking for. Hope yours turns out great. It is a good recipe to begin with.

Yes it is a great recipe. I kicked up the heat a little but the kids won't eat it if its too spicy. I will have to make my own batch soon :)

Here they are all racked up ready for a little drying time in the 80L

They are done, but can't take the picture until I get home tonight. They got done so late I just put them in the fridge with paper towels in between layers and will package them up tonight. Used cherry wood this time since I was out of hickory, and from the taste test last night they are very good.

The kids actually asked for them with a little more spice this time so I kicked it up a notch, I should make a 5 lb batch for me and kick it up 5 notches.
