My 90/10 has to be used up. Was going to use the fat back and make some 70 day hard salami but with all my irons in the fire i decided to do some AC #116 sticks with a twist.

Here is what i'm using.

1 cup distilled water

6 Tbs AC #116 Stick mix

1 tsp cure 1

4 Tbs BM Powder

Added the cure. 116 and celery seed. Mix good.

Using my wifes KA (YIKES) With the dough hook. The hook is better than the paddle. Paddle the meat bunches up in the middle.

5 lbs 90/10

Next i added the BM Powder to the cured 116. Mix in well. I do the BMP add in last.

Add the 116 mix into the meat and dough hook it for 3-5 mins. Careful so you dont over work the meat and start to render the fat to the sides or hook. Use a wooden spoon to help if needed.

All mixed.

Keep your butchers twine clean.

I like to tie the middle where the sticks hang on the bell.

Looks good so far.
i ran out of sticks so thinks its time to make some more.
for some reason they dont last long around my house
 
Im happy with the fan. Did five lbs in 5 hours 27 mins.

Going to let the sticks hang in the smoker (no heat or smoke) to bloom up some.

From time to time i get customers ask for casing less slim jims.

Ok no problema. Your the customer

So if you did your mix and smoking right the casings will peel off just like a wrapper (which it is anyways)
