    making snack sticks for the first time this weekend and a couple questions

    Thanks for all the help, I smoked the first batch last night and they were decent, just a little bland. I started them at 150 for 2 hours then bumped to 170 and it took another 5 hours. Is 7 hours cook time normal to bring them up to 153 degrees?

    Getting started with sausage

    I see the cabelas stuffer has an optional motor. Having never done sausage before would this be a nice addition down the road. Or is cranking the handle no problem. Just wondering if that should push me towards the cabelas. The one so far that has caught my eye is the Lem 10lb vertical that the...
