Snack sticks

OU812 · January 17, 2011, 12:21:51 PM

Made us some snack sticks this weekend.

Started with 3.5 lb beef fat, trimmed from my last brisket.

With 8.5 lb deer.

Mixed them together.

Added the seasonings, cure and grind again then in the stuffer, ready to rock.

Shot out in 2 long links then cut to lenght then spaced out and ready for the smoker.

All done and sitting at room temp wile the smoker comes to temp.

Smoked with Jim Beam pucks for 4 hr and pulled when the IT hit 152 F rotating the racks front to back top to bottom every hr.

Those are picture perfect. So nice and neat. If they taste any thing like they look then you have a million dollar winner.

Looks like you stuffed them perfect... I'll grab a 6-pack and be right over. Hmmm, my smoker is not very big and I have that many racks...

That's quite a setup you got there OU812 and the first double barrel stuffer I've seen. I would guess knocking 91 sticks out is a job but made a bit easer with great setup! ;D

If I had one more hand it would be a walk in the park. ;D

Great looking sticks!
Last couple times I made sticks, I hung them. Maybe I need to look into adding racks.
I like the PID bracket too. Mine sits on edge on the smoke generator which I don't like.
When the icebox lets go in a couple months maybe I'll see if I can do something similar.
And I need to get a couple of BigJohnT's stuffer tubes also, but I gotta let the credit card bill stabilize first.
