Venison Pizza/Cheese Stix

[NePaSmoKer]

Here i have 5 lbs of ground venison with a beef cut in.



Going with the AC OP Mix. If you have a mortar/pestle use it to break the powdered tomato thats in the mix.







Have 1/8" x 1/8" Mozzarella cubed and ready for the mix in.



Mixed and ready to stuff/smoke.



Didnt get to Lowes to get a new T for my KC so its cranker time.


Stuffed and ready.



Going with my AMZNPS with hickory pellets for the smoke delivery.





The nacho cheese are on the rack.

Looking good!  Is that just plain old Mozzarella from the store?  I guess that it would be good since it seems to take a high temp to melt, and smoking won't get that high.  I need to think about which other cheeses wouyld be good to cube like that and mix with a batch of sausage.  Any suggestions?

I found the harder cheeses work good. Swiss and pepper jack are easy to use.

Yes just regular store bought, so i saved like $13 + shipping  ;D

You appear to have water in the pan at the bottom of your smoker.  What's the reason for doing that?  I thought that one of the purposes of smoking snack sticks is to dry them out.  Does steam from the water condense on the sticks and interfere with smoking the sticks?

All depends on how you like your sticks?

Dry dont use water and the casings will be dry and brittle.

Semi dry use water and the casings will have the snap to them. Most sausage companies use wet wood that creates steam and at times spray water down onto the sausage.

These are in the 2012 sausage archive.
