Snack sticks first attempt

[smokeitall]

Nice looking snack stix Pensrock.

Anybody ever put the meat in the oven like that guy on you tube before?  The recipe looks pretty good but no smoke flavor = store bought quality...

smokeitall, This was my first try at making snack stick. So to answer your question I have not tried putting them into the oven.

Mike,
I put half back into the dehydrator for a few more hours and the results are great. Still not as dry as jerky but much more like a Slim Jim stick. I liked them so much that I put the rest back in just a few minutes ago.

Thanks for the update Pens.

Do you have any idea on your total times for smoke and dehydrate you used now?

Mike,
Its difficult to say because I pulled them out of the dehydrator last night, into the fridge and put back into the dehydrator again.

I would estimate I smoked them for two hours at 165F and probably had them in the dehydrator for an good eight to nine hours at 155F. Hope that helps.

Thanks Pens

I will have to try this the next time I do some stixs.

Do you think these could be stuffed and smoked one day and into the dehydrator the next day?

I would keep them in the smoker till the IT was 150-155 then take them out. The next day do the dehydration.
