I've been looking for a good snack stick recipe for a long time. In getting close. Our family sausage was traditionally dried for many years. It was stuffed and hung in a cool cellar or porch. When it dried, it had an incredible almost pepperoni flavor. I have no place I can dry it here, so I got the idea of making snack sticks with it then throwing it in the smoker. It was great.
Last night I put in a 20 pound batch. Unknown to me, My smoke generator went out. That really made them shine. They taste great. Just a kiss of smoke. They were in for almost 16 hours at temps from 130-160. My controller shut off when internal temp hit 152 degrees. Getting close.
