    Thanks, yes I'll add a little water. I thought this would work, but someone else saying so helps!

    Mixing snack stick question

    Ground 15# of meat for snack sticks but followed recipe for 10#. Duh!! It's been sitting in bulk form, not stuffed, in the fridge since yesterday. Just realized my mistake. Can I throw it back in the mixer and add the rest of the ingredients and cure?

    Fassett's breakfast sausage 1st time

    Haven't tried it yet. Probly will on the weekend. After I see how it tastes maybe I'll customize the next batch.

    Fassett's breakfast sausage 1st time

    Yes, gradually sprinkled it on while mixer was turning. I make mostly sausages that get smoked, so I'm used to adding water cause of the sticky mix with cure in it. Seemed to mix well, thanks.

    Fassett's breakfast sausage 1st time

    1st time making Pop's breakfast sausage. Heard so much about it here, I had to try it. Also 1st time posting a pic. Hope it works. Just sprinkled the seasoning on, is that the way to do it? No water added to dissolve it in. Easy to make! Packaged in bulk 1# packages. Thanks for looking, Rod.

    Got a smoker question

    Is the meat chewy, or just the skin? Skin needs high heat to crisp up.

    Need a no salt, no sugar rub.

    My buddy is smoking a 14# brisket this coming weekend for a family reunion. He has family that can't have salt, and another that can't have sugar. Do any of you know of a rub recipe that doesn't contain salt or sugar? I told him I would ask the experts! Thank you.

    Hot Stick Recipe

    I have made 50# of deer sticks using this recipe from Nepas the last couple months. I gave a lot of them away and everyone has gone gaga over them! They have even said they're going to buy me extra deer licenses next year so I can make more sticks! They're really good with pepper jack cheese in...

    Elusive TBS

    Thanks Foam and JJ. I'll try chunks. That first picture of the smoker with the white smoke coming out is exactly the smoker I have! And the same kinda smoke coming out of it! Funny!

    Elusive TBS

    Is it possible to get TBS from an electric smoker? Can't seem to on mine, a LEM 20# (sausage maker). I use chips, and the pan sets directly on the burner. Seems like I get all thick white smoke. Also if I may, on mixing meat; a charcuterie book I was reading said to mix the meat one to two...

    Wild bar hog snack sticks

    Search here for "Nepas hot stick recipe", I really like that one. I use 80% deer 20% pork. Or 90% deer and 10% pork fat. Can add one pound of Hi temp cheese for a 10 # batch. I use pepper jack. I didn't use the encapsulated citric acid, no reason, just didn't have any. Would think your wild hog...

    Deer stick temp

    Putting a temp probe in a deer stick as small as they are is tough! I make casingless sticks and I try to insert the probe in a hurry so I don't have the smoker door open any longer than I have to, smoke is rolling out so its hard to see what I'm doing, etc. I always worry that the probe is...
