hey Roller,

  I got 20#'s of ground deer thawing right now, the last time I did this mine came out pretty dry, I was thinking of adding a little more water to the mix, I use High Mountain seasonings kits with a little high temp cheese. I see on here that some will add soy protein, what is the benefit of adding that?

any thoughts?

thanks

bob
 
Those look great. I make mine with about 20% ground pork added to the mix. I have also mixed in high temp. cheddar which makes these awesome sticks even better. I just can't believe that it takes 9 hours to get up to temp. I smoke mine around 160* and it only takes about 3 hours to get up to 165*. They look great man!
 
I did mine last weekend, made up 4 flavors but I changed up the method I normally use.  Not sure if I like the hanging method, the tops of the sticks were very dry while the bottoms were too moist, the middle was the best. I stuffed the 19mm casings pretty tight use my LEM stuffer yet the sticks were fatter at the bottom then the tops, I figure I would get a little shift do to gravity but didn't think it would be this much.  Maybe I made the stick to long? or to moist? to low of a start temp to harden the casings?

does anyone got any suggestions?

 
 nice job, they look great. do the pre mix boxes come with soy protien or any kind of powdered milk in the seasoning? ill be making some 100% venison stix tomorrow. ive made them before, using my own season and #1 cure. this will be the first time i add soy protien. the last time i made them they shrunk down quite a bit but i did add pork fat. and for that reason im going to try 100% venison with the soy protein, see if that helps. ill post some pics and everything of the turn out.
They look great, did you use a pre mixed kit for the seasonings/cure?
Yes LEM Snack Stick..
I will be making some of these!!! Thanks!
Thank you !
