Well Tenpoint5 1/4 is at it again!! Christmas day she told her Grandpa Larry, that SHE would make him some snack sticks, if he gave her some deer meat. Grandpa gave her 6lbs of venison that had been cut with 15% pork. This morning I rolled her out of bed and told her its time to make some sticks!! I already had the cheese cut up. We put Colby/Monteray Jack in.

Miss Rachel mixed all the meat together



Then we got the cheese out and added it.





Then I dumped in the spices, seasonings, and cure



Back to mixing everything up real good!!



Then load up the stuffer cylinder making sure to pack it down real good so there is no air pockets



Start STUFFING!!! "Dad this really cranks hard!! It's not like the other sausages we made."





Now that we have everything stuffed.



Time to start tying all them little sticks off!!



All ready to go in the smoker when it gets up to temp.



Dad didn't take any pictures of me loading the smoker. It is only 9º outside this morning so we didn't stay out there very long. I will have him take some pictures when we are rotating racks later.

Looking good!

I'm sure I'll have "helpers" when I make sausage.

Miss Rachel you did a fantastic job on those stixs.  Looks like you have it down pat. 


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

Miss Rachel - Great looking sausage. I also think it is great that you take the time to teach 10.5 how to make sausage. ;D

Miss Rachel looks like a serious pro.  She has the stuffer mastered.

Note to self - never get into a sausage contest with Rachel.

That's awesome, Chris!
I like animals, they taste good!

Great job Miss Rachel, them snack sticks look gooood.

Miss Taby use to help me all the time but now shes away at collage and I gotta do it by my self.

Nice job Rachel. Now everyone thinks she needs to teach Chris how to do it. I think Chris taught her so he will no longer have to make sticks,he can sit back and let Rachel make them and he enjoys the fruits of her labor. Pretty tricky there Chris. ;)

Well the Hickory smoke is done rolling.



So Miss Rachel did the rack rotating thing and bumped the heat up to 170º to finish.

Great job Rachel :)
Cranking out those skinny sticks is not the easiest task either.
