For jalapeno cheese sausage I much prefer fresh jalapeno. It gives a brightness that would otherwise be lacking and it's a nice juxtaposition to the richness of the cheese, meat and fat. I use the dried for things like snacksticks, maybe summer sausage, etc.
...able to show up and make it another fantastic gathering.
Doug/brad your presence was greatly missed. We look forward to next year.
Keith as always your snacksticks were a hit. Good learing process of how to do it and also enjoy the end results. Next time we can sample some summer sausage.
...NO2. It is used in Bacon (by law) and other cured meats that will be finished processing within 30 days, like sausages, summer sausage, snacksticks, Canadian Bacon, etc...
Cure #2 is for products that will take longer than 30 days to finish processing. The amounts are higher to allow for a...
What recipe did you use, or did you use a jerky marinade/kit. Curing salts cure the meat. Idk if other salts apply to curing.
I am kinda of a newbie, but been making jerky & snacksticks for quite some years now.
I upgraded from the 5# to the 10# motorized and really like it. As far as I know LEM recommends using the 10# for snacksticks. Mine came with a 3/8” tube for sticks. No problem so far.
No, the 5# tubes will not work on the larger motorized units, but mine came with 4 stainless tubes.
Awesome,,, how do you like your inkbird controller,,, I have two on two separate 1500w burners and still can not get my smoker above 158 (not for cheese,, for snacksticks),,,,, each controller is rated for 1500w as well.
It could, depends on the quality of the coating of the ECA. Really, once the meat hits about 130 IT the mix is set and the release of the acid can happen then at any time without damaging the integrity of the sausage. So smoke accordingly.
Since I make and sell snacksticks to the guys at work... Well... I don't actually sell it to them... For a $10 donation towards my vacation they will get a free pack of snacksticks... So the guys at work ask me too make (and sell) them some jerky... I tell them there is no way I can compete...
I've been making snacksticks for about a year now and usually get my casings from a place called Waltons. Only thing is you have to pay for shipping and sometimes the shipping is as much as the product. I've never had a issue with these casings. Recently I've ordered from a couple reputable...
J382, I make tons of snacksticks and never use anything but pork butt with my venison. 75/25 or 70/30 is my go to mix, no fat out at 165 temps and delicious finished product.
Hello,
I recently purchased a propane vertical smoker almost exclusively for making snacksticks (venison mostly, mixed with pork).
I’m struggling to have a consistent temp throughout the smoker. The top will be 15-25 degrees hotter. I hang them so it causes the top to get done well before...
