Greg's spicy stick [Teriyaki] first try

[pikeman_95]

I took a shot at Greg's spicy sticks but took out 1/2 of the salt and substituted with a cup of soy vay veri veri teriyaki sauce. I added a 1/4 cup of extra hot sauce.
I started with some burger that my brother-in-law wanted to use up. It was 80/20 which turned out a little too high of fat content for me.
Here are the species and treiyaki ready to go.



First  I added the spices and did a quick mix with the 5 gallon mixer. I have beefed up the mixer drive shaft from an earlier design

this the total of the batch. 



About 4 hours in the smoker. No water bath needed for these. Now on the counter to cool.





vac sealed and ready for the freezer. They turned out great. Though a little fatter then I would have normally have done but the flavor was great. Plenty of bite and the salt and Teriyaki turned out fine.





I will be doing this again but I think I will use a lower level of fat.

They look really good.  What IT did you bring them up to?  I am impressed that you got the done in the smoker in 4 hrs.  I find that it mine take between 6 to 8 hrs to get to 152.  Would love to know your secret.

Great looking stix there, Kirby!

You always do such large quantities, I'm impressed!
One of these days I may have to 'Go Big" & do a batch bigger than 'just' 5 or 10 pounds! Using both the bucket mixer & stuffer cannon, as you've demonstrated in your vids, I'm more confident to take the plunge.

After about 45 minutes of drying time at 125F I kicked it up to 155-160 with a heavy smoke. I hit 152 and the oil was starting to show. I have 4 fans in the smoker and it is like a convection oven. Things just get more smoke on them and get up to temp sooner.

the fan thing sounds a plan.
