Slim Jims

[OU812]

I was wanting snack sticks and Taby wanted Slim Jims so here we go.

The ingredients.



All mixed up.



I use one of these thingies to make sure the dry stuff dont have any clumps.





6 lb course ground deer and 4 lb course ground pork butt.



Mixed and ground through the 6 MM plate.



All the good stuff added.



And mixed in.



Now the fun begins.







All racked up and ready for a long day.





JD is standing guard.



After 8 hr with the Bradley set at 110 F





After 4 hr smoke with Pecan, smoker set at 140 F



Raised the smoker temp 10 deg. every hr and rotated bottom to top, front to back and the next to the bottom down

After 18 hr with the smoker restin at a max temp of 160 F



Let bloom over night then in the fridge for the day to dry a bit more.





After another 24 hr all packaged



All them packages are goin to the ones that helped Taby get were she is now.

Oh Ya there was some saved fro the cook.  ;D

I had the stuffing tube made, takes a bit to get the hang of it but it does work great.
