ah ok thanks for this clarification. I have read in one of the marianski books that if you cook them at 185f or higher you dont need cure. .... I guess they would have to get to 140f in 4 hours which would have to include the preparation time?

...this site! Awesome website by the way! I have a question and am very confused. I just started making my own beef jerky and beef snacksticks. Most of the recipes call for pink curing salt.....can I use Morton Tender Quick instead, to make these two items? Pink curing salt calls for 1/4...
...than the usual quantity of meat left in the elbow. I recently picked up a 11 lb horizontal (Hakka again) and like it much better. Other than just a very small amount of meat left in when done it seems easier to control, is more stable and it is easier to clean. No problems with 19mm snacksticks.
I typically smoke my snacksticks low and slow and want to try ECA for the first time. I know that you're supposed to add the ECA right before stuffing and smoking immediately. I was wondering if you're doing a 20 hour smoke, would the ECA be released before it hits 135 to 150?
I am wanting to get started on snacksticks. I have recently bought a HI-Mountain snack stick kit that comes with casings and seasoning. Looking for any suggestions on gum to fill casings with and tips on smoking and storage. Thanks in advance for any tips!
Just finished chilling the snacksticks. They turned out great too, I think I'm hooked! We hunt a lot, and always seem to have ground deer and elk left over. Not anymore!
How are you liking the PS 100 Classic? Sausage/SnackSticks/Jerky is my main reason for wanting one of these cabinets but would occasionally do other bigger primals when i dont' want to tend my offset. This checks a lot of my boxes but having a hard time making a final decision between this, a...
Done is done whatever the temp.
Food looks good.
That's not I've seen you do since sunup, Keith. ...
You coach a lot of people all day on grinding, seasoning, mixing, and stuffing snacksticks.
The shine is always a tasty kicker now and then.
Moderation you haven't learned?
That is some good looking bacon...
Since I can't sell snacksticks legally... I just give them a free pack (6" long, 6 in a pack) for a $10 donation towards my vacation... LOL... I'll do 4 flavors and make a varity pack (1 pack of each flavor) and knock $5 off for $35 total...

...probes from Thermoworks. Not to worry, I can make it work, knowing how it's operating, and will likely add a PID anyway. I have some snacksticks in the MES right now, but I'll share that in the appropriate forum.
When I'm not messing around with my smoker or sausage gear, I can be found...
Depends on the sausage. I have a couple of stuffers but still run fresh brats and summer sausage with the grinder and use the stuffer for snacksticks and other smoked sausages. That being said I have a pretty robust grinder ,a 2 hp 220 v number 22 pro-cut With a foot feed. You would be...
I want to add some encapsulated citric acid to venison snacksticks. I keep reading not to grind meat after adding the citric acid. I use my grinder to stuff with, without the grinding knife. Am I okay to stuff this way or will it t break down the encapsulated acid?
...Do I need to do these types of salami recipes or is there an easier way, and can you point me in the direction of good resources and recipes please!!
Also, if you are making snacksticks and cooking until 165 at a temperature 200f is it necessary to use cure?? it seems unnecessary
Thank you!
What I am thinking about using for fat is rendered turkey skin and dark meat. I have to avoid the typical animal fats. Seems my friend was bitten by a tick and contracted a virus that left her severely to the red meats and most byproducts.
The 11-hour cook time is a bit long for 19mm snacksticks, but since you hit 155°F internally and ice-bathed them, they should be safe. The lighter spots could be from uneven heat, moisture, or the ECA reaction. If the texture is firm and there’s no off smell, they’re likely fine. Next time, try...
OK.. For sausage and snacksticks... If your wanting to make some you will need to bring the kind of meat you want it to be... Beef or Pork... If your going beef you will still need pork fat... Boston Butt will work... If you just want pork sausage then alls you will need is whole untrimmed...
Howdy all, I've got a situation with snacksticks that I need some guidance on and was hoping you all could help a first timer out! Sorry in advance for the length of this!!
Deer season is approaching, so I thought I would clear out the freezer and make a batch of snacksticks. Got it all...
