    First Snack Sticks needs some advice!!

    Think I'm going to invest an AMNPS too. Seems like they get rave reviews and the way to go for cold smoking (next project)

    Sounds like were on the same boat here. Think the next batch I'll let them sit to get room temp for several hours and wipe dry any surface moisture. Then go along with nepas guideline. Think I might add a little more fat as well. They inside is a tad dry for my taste.

    Thanks for the feed back here. Westby your probably right on with the moisture. Several times when I checked them they had moisture on them and my damper was not fully open. But no there was no water pan. Therms should be pretty good I can't see all three off but maybe so, ill check for sure...

    Snack Sticks 101

    The kit says it has all ingredients included but ill double check. How long at 100? Not sure if it will run that low. Plus the wife said she just picked up about 10lbs of ground pork at a local Mexican meat market, so I will probably supplement that for the beef.

    Snack Sticks 101

    Question here for all those that posted here. I've got a snack stick kit from High Mountain. It makes a 10lbs of sticks. It says smoke or oven cook at 200 for 1-2 hrs. Does this sound correct or should the time and temp be adjusted? I'm using 7lbs deer meat and 3lbs of 73%-23% ground beef. Not...
