After consulting with Bearcarver, I used his Bearloaf recipe and made my first attempt at making his Bearloaf into snack sticks and it turned out great.
He had his recipe listed for a 12 1/2 pound batch of meat, I cut it down to make a 2 pound batch, My only problem is my math, I didn't exactly get the amount of Tender Quick cut to the correct amount and put to much TQ in as I should have.
Getting past the salty taste, it came out really good.
This is what I started with 1.13# 80/20 ground beef and 3 OZ of my home made pork sausage, I wanted to round the meat off to 2 pounds.
My dry spices
Wet ingredients
Dry and wet ingredients all mixed together
Meat and seasoning all mixed and ready for a rest in fridge over night.
Used my Jerky cannon to stuff into 21 MM colagen casing. This was after an overnight rest in the fridge.
Smoked using cherry pellets in my Amsn-p to an IT of 156* and then a cold bath.
I want to thank Bear carver for his recipe and guidence, For this batch I must overlook the excess salty taste, but will soon make a larger batch and will read the recipe better to avoid my mistake I made with this batch.
Thanks for looking and Thanks to Bear carver and all the fine people here on SMF: Rich-
