Hump Day Snack Stix..... With Final Pictures!

[SouthernSmoked]

Decided to make some snack sticks today. Middle of the week and I'm completely out.

Started with 85/15 Beef, A C Leggs Blend 116, Cayenne Pepper, cure and water.


Five pounds of burger, 7 Tablespoons of A C Leggs Blend 116, 1/2 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper, 1 Teaspoon of Cure#1 and 8oz of water.



Mixed in spices and the Cure with 8 oz of water.
After mixing let set for 30 minutes.

I rolled my sausage station over to the sink and started setting up my LEM Mixer.


Added the meat and mixture.



After a few minutes.....



Placed into a plastic container...


Sealed and will place in the fridge until later tonight.


Will be continued.......

Hey Rick, that is the one that I purchased. I bought two and one will be heading to comps with me this year.

It comes with the option of using wheels or feet. With the wheels it stands 39" tall and using the feet it stand 35-36" tall.
