I posted in another thread that I have issues with keeping my snack stick casings snappy. I love them after the cook and for a few days after but once I cryovac them they get soft and chewy and peel away from the meat.
When they come out from the cook the casings are full...
...that thread so you can just put in how many pounds of meat you have and it automatically adjusts the spices to fit your project.

So I told a few friends I was going to be making pork snacksticks this wknd... One told me he had some venison he broiught down with him from Michigan... Asked if I wanted it to make some sticks with it... We would split the finished product... After cleaning it up (actually was already...
...equipment to force sausage through those really small diameter tubes. I have seen photos where people have broken their plunger plate in half forcing dryer mix too fast. I always add extra 'juice' when making snacksticks for that very reason. This is especially true with those 10mm tubes!!!
Hard to believe nobody else I've watched / read has mentioned this, but I 1/2 figured that out on my own, just wasn't confident enough to stop earlier...
Yea, the 11 hr ones were ruined. Some were edible, but only a hungry person was gonna eat em. Sad part is, you can't even give those away...
In a small smoker like MES. Don’t forget to rotate those sticks around, don’t just set and forget. Big smokers you get away with not messing with them.
Stop watching YouTube and start searching the archives here and/or ask questions in new forum posts. We will and can get you dialed in.

...sausage links into the "cold smoke" box on my RecTeq which sits at about 155° on low. Loaded the now empty MES with a batch of spicy snacksticks (50/50 pork/beef, sheep casings) to dry for an hour. After an hour, I loaded in my OnlyFire pellet maze for smoke, and bumped the MES temp to...

Can you all point...
Hi all,
A few days ago I bought a case of MREs. More out of what I've heard about them. And curious on how Uncle Sam has been feeding the troops lately. And if they are better than the C-rats I had in the 80's.
I had the beef strips in BBQ sauce yesterday. And put my thoughts about it in a...
Ran a batch of beef snacksticks this weekend using 21mm collagen casing. Had cure #1 in the mix and cooked them off at about 150-175 in my offset smoker hotbox until I hit 155. After water bath and chill in the fridge, I noticed that my test sample has a distinct center on it and and I think...
...in our general area... So anybody waiting to the last minute to join us better be quick about it...
I don't believe I will be doing snacksticks this year as I just had a failed batch so I am kinda gun shy now... But I can bring the grinder and stuffer and we can make fresh sausage... Just...
Damnit... Second guessing myself after sitting here thinking about it... Making some snacksticks and don't remember if I put 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 level teaspoons of cure #1 to 12 1/2 lbs of meat... 2 1/2 is the correct amount but I'll be damned if I can remember... Told myself it didn't look right...
