    Can I cut the fat on snack sticks?

    Thanks Dan ... I backed off the cure to 1 tsp. I guess I freaked a bit. They are in the smoker now. In hind site I should have slowed my roll a bit and researched a good recipe.

    Can I cut the fat on snack sticks?

    I going to run the whole 5#'s. Yes I will be adding pink cure salt @ 1/4 teaspoon per pound. That's what the jerky seasoning calls for, I hope that is correct.

    Can I cut the fat on snack sticks?

    I was just going to run the beef straight without adding additional fat. It's chilling in the freezer ready to grind. As snack sticks I think I might be ok with dryer. No other risks?

    Can I cut the fat on snack sticks?

    I going to make my second batch of snack sticks. I just got home from Costco and bought a 5# Beef Chuck Pot Roast. I cubed it up and trimmed it down to about 90/10, (my best guess). I wanted to try a leaner, slightly healthier snack stick. What is the drawback to cutting the fat down? thx, rick
