    just cant get the ratio right with venison

    I did find for snack sticks that if I used 9.5 pounds ground venison and 3 pounds of ground chuck {at walmart the 3 pounds tubes are the ticket} That gives me a 12.5 pound mix.

    to hang snack sticks or lay on the rack

    Been making venison snack sticks for the past 2 months and still have another 20 pounds to make up. I have been sticking them on the racks in my MES 30 and rotating them during the 10 hours.

    The cheese  is all diced up and should not be a problem.  I also vote for more water needed. and greasing the oring. I guessed at the water because it did not say on the pack of seasoning. Live and learn I guess

    I was wondering about the water thing. Just ordered new parts off the LEM site. Should be here Sat. I bagged the 6 pounds I had left and tossed it in the frig.....or should I freeze it ?. I will add a bit more H2O. For 12 pounds I added about 1 1/4 cups of water. Guess I need a bit more. Freaked...
