    Snack Stick fillers and binders

    I just finished my first batch of beef snack sticks (sorry no qview this time). Although they're a little ugly, they taste great. Two questions tho. They are greasy to the touch, is this normal?

    Another frozen smoker from Minnesota

    Been lurking for a while now and have decided to come out of the closet. I've been BBQing for some 40 yrs. This summer both my LP and charcoal grills rusted out, so I bought a Char Griller Trio from TSC. Good move. Did two butts right away (thanks to the info gleaned from this form),and they...
