    Snack stick question

    Your venison is basically 100% meat and no fat. Pork butts are about 80/20 meat to fat. You want to shoot for at least 20% overall fat in general or maybe a little more. Of your two options I would go with 50/50. Now my personal practice is I buy trimmed pork back fat and I go 80% venison...

    Elk to fat ratio.

    Dang, you guys are not messing around with that archery hunt, nice bull!! I don't make many snack sticks, and my bologna is similar to summer sausage.... I add some pork so my fat ratio is about 25%. If you opt for fresh sausage I will mix elk or venison burger 60:40 with ground pork butt...

    About to buy a smoker...which one?

    Hi there and welcome! Your focus is on venison snack sticks (sausage basically). With your focus, the pellet smoker gets ruled out because it can't do the lower temps needed for sausage/sticks. The proper process is to start at like 100F degrees and bump up the temp until you hit a smoker temp...

    New here! And I’d like to decide on a new smoker in the next couple of days.

    I’d like to pick out my first smoker here in the next couple of days so I’m here for advice. It would mainly be used for sausage (summer&snack sticks) but I have a lot of venison and beef/pork In the freezers. My dad and his friend each settled on the pk100 electric smoker and have absolutely...

    My build / Advice needed

    Hello everyone! Ive been a deer hunter my entire life. Ive grown quite fond of venison sausage. This summer I bought all the necessary equipment to make snack sticks. I made my first 18lb batch over 100’ of 19mm collagen casing and quickly found out I didn’t have near the space needed to cook...

    Venison snack sticks

    3rd try at snack sticks yesterday. Better than 2nd try, which was better than first try, so at least I’m going in the right direction. They actually were pretty good. It was a 7.5 pound batch with 4.75 lb venison and 2.75 pork grind that was maybe 70/30. I used B&P premix seasoning and I added...

    Kielbasa, Kabonosy, Vension Snack Sticks and Fresh Sausage (long post with recipes and pictures)

    You nailed the Kabanosy ! The red color is outstanding. Kabanosy is my favorite to make as I have made it for 30 years and I can spot a good one and yours have that look. The recipe you used is pretty identical to the one I use from Mariansky's book. Congratualtions, well done ! HT

    Elk to fat ratio.

    Nice job and amazing looking bull! I do 80/20 with all my venison sausage as well as my wild hog sausage (most have no fat on them). I don't see you having any problem with what the processor gave you back as long as they used 20% beef fat and not just beef. I do 80/20 - venison/beef fat for...

    Summer sausage and Snack sticks

    I know I don't post much as far as smoking goes so here's some. Had a good bit of venison in the freezer from last year wife had also picked up some 90/10 ground beef because she wanted snack sticks. We also picked up some cheese to cold smoke that's in a thread in the cheese section. So while...

    Today's 20lb batch of sticks

    For this batch I used Willie's snack stick seasoning and added high temp ghost pepper cheese. They have some pretty good heat as expected. 1-10 scale a solid 7. 50/50 venison pork butt mix.

    So 30 lbs of sausage later?

    Congrats on the buck! I suggest you get a stuffer that does more than the amount you expect to do. So if you intend to do 10 pound batches get one that holds 11+ pounds. I have a big one that holds about 22-23 pounds because I do 20 pounds at a time. Just know the bigger the stuffer the harder...

    Beef suet...good for using to make venison SS?

    So wanting to make some venison summer sausage and snack sticks... would beef suet work well for this or not? I know many say to use pork butt which gives approximately 80/20 ratio of meat to fat. But to get an 80/20 mix for SS with my venison I don't really want to add that much pork and lose...

    Venison snack sticks

    I recently used the Hi Mountain pepperoni snack stick mix for some venison sticks. I think I made 10lbs using 7.5 lbs of venison cut with 2.5 lbs of pork fat. They came out really good, although I would have liked them a bit spicier for my taste.

    First try at venison ring bologna

    Hey Guys, I'm planning on trying to make up some venison ring bologna and wondering how much pork or beef I should be adding to my venison? The venison was well trimmed so has essentially no fat. I've got the B&P seasoning mix. What do you think is a good mixture of meat to add to the venison...
