The cold smoke set up would work great.

I have the 6 rack and with the smoke generator in it my PID has no problum holding those low temps.

The out side temp was in the upper 80's when I did these.

I make a ham loaf with this same recipe,,,,,,,,,,,makes a great sammie.

A hammie Sammie?

Great lookin' sticks!
I really like the idea of the brine-first step to create the ham texture.
I recently did a similar 2-day brine with pork ribs for a similar 'ham effect.' good stuff.

Adding the recipe to my to-do list. ;)

There was no brine, it was a dry cure in my brine bucket. ;D

If you saved the recipe you might want to delete it and save again, I had a step messed up. ::)

Gonna make a batch with black pepper this weekend.

I am way behind on my 'to do' list. I have been wanting to make these sticks since Curt posted them, a looooooooong time ago.
Well, I finally made them yesterday. We followed Curt's recipe, but we added about 1/8 C of black pepper.

These are very, very GOOD!
Thanks again Curt!

Looks gooood seemore,,,,,,,,,the black pepper really sets them off I think

What grind of black pepper did ya use?

Those look really good Seemore. I made them a couple weeks ago but didn't add the pepper. They were a big hit around here as well. Great recipe Curt!

Curt coarse ground table pepper

Just goes to show some things never die!!! Thank you so much again Curt for the recipe I make them a lot and of all the things we make she keeps asking for the Ham sticks. A friend tried the last batch and suggested some pineapple in them and they would be better than Edgewood lockers and that's saying something. So thanks again Curt and Seemore yours looks awesome may try the pepper next time.
