    Jalapeno Snack Stick Q-View

    Do you bring the sticks to a certain internal temp then pull and boil?  Or do you just smoke for a couple hours, pull no matter what the temp and then boil?  I am going to make some deer sticks this week and try boiling them.

    Jalapeno Snack Stick Q-View

    I used LEM spicy stick seasoning/cure packet.  I smoked these between 150-160 until they got up to temp.  The shrinkage didn't bother me, but I would like the casing to be a bit softer.  I will experiment with that.  But like I said , I never went over 160 and used 50% pork so I just expected...

    ~Backwoods Style Build

    I am not seeing any tube where the heat moves from the fire to the cook chamber.  I understand the reverse flow and the smoke stack, but I dont see where the smoke and heat is getting to the cook chamber.  Am I blind!!!!!?

    Char-griller grillin' pro model 3001 gas

    I have the same grill and only use it for grilling.  I wasn't aware that the side fire box was able to be mounted on this grill.  I am curious to know how it works out.  How easy is it to control/ maintain temps?

    Jalapeno Snack Stick Q-View

    They were pretty mild.  The LEM spicy sticks package didn't have much kick, good background flavor, just not spicy.  Adding the peppers added a little kick, but not what I was expecting.  I may leave the seeds and membranes in next time to get the kick I like.   My wife doesn't like things too...
