    Meat Stick Experiment

    Sounds like a good idea. Some things do mellow over time. The Backwoods was so salty though, that I don't think it would make much difference. The others, maybe. I kept some of each so we'll see. Thanks for the input

    Advice on upgrading my cold smoking

    MES has a cold smoke attachment box that feeds into the wood hopper on the side. I use it exclusively for everything, including cold smoking cheese. Fill it, turn it on ond it goes for a lot longer than the built in chip feeder. Bought it on Amazon for about $50 and it's made by MES.

    First time jerky questions.

    Usually for jerky, and I use the same cut of meat, I use my dehydrator for consistency and I use my own spice mixture. On the other hand, I did get the jerky kit for my Camp Chef Windwood pellet grill and found that it works well on Low Smoke, about 160 degrees. to add a smoky finish. You just...

    Meat Stick Experiment

    So, the experiment is complete. I did the final 3 commercial seasonings and I found that the Backwoods Original was much too salty for my taste. The Sausage Maker Teryaki was OK, but missing something. Not sure what. The Owen's Honey BBQ was probably the best of the 4 I made, but tasted a bit...

    Meat Stick Experiment

    Thanks. I pulled them at 155 degrees and popped them in the fridge. Turned out pretty well, but I think the seasoning is a bit sweet for my taste. Have to get some summer sausage done next for some friends. I plan on doing the other 3 seasonings next weekend. I'll post the results. I will say...

    Meat Stick Experiment

    Over the years, I’ve tried a number of meat stick seasonings. Looking in my fridge, I have 4 that I can’t even remember trying so the marathon begins. My goal is to try them and decided, keep or not. As an experiment, I decided to try using my Camp Chef pellet grill instead of my tried and tru...

    Worcestershire Sauce in Beef Sticks

    Beef Snack Stick Experiment

    Thanks. I have always used eye of the round. I have some extra 80/20 ground beef. Since the Cannon came with a package of jerky seasoning, why not...Appreciate the comment. Jeff

    Worcestershire Sauce in Beef Sticks

    I'll try a small batch tomorrow and report back. I also ordered some powdered Worchestershire which was suggested. I'll give that a try too. Can't hurt to experiment. That's the fun of this.... Thanks, Jeff

    Worcestershire Sauce in Beef Sticks

    I've followed your advice before and haven't been disappointed. I'll give it a try. Any guidance on how much per pound of meat? BTW, I agree with WS and Jerky....a must! Thanks. Jeff

    Worcestershire Sauce in Beef Sticks

    Thanks Corey. I wasn't aware of powdered Worchestershire. I'll check it out. It's probably concentrated so a little might go a long way. Thanks. Jeff

    Beef Snack Stick Experiment

    I’ve been making snack sticks for a while, trying different recipes and methods. I usually stuff collagen casings with my 5 lb LEM stuffer and put the sticks on the smoker for a while with various woods, usually hickory. I was reading something where a guy used a LEM Jerky Cannon to make un...

    Worcestershire Sauce in Beef Sticks

    Recently, I tried Backwoods snack stick seasoning on a batch of beef sticks. I added some ECA which worked well, but it was missing something. I'm not sure, but would adding some Worcestershire sauce, maybe a couple teaspoons per pound work? Any ideas? Thanks.

    Bactoferm- Which to Use

    Hi Zwiller, I have pretty much always used Bactoferm F-CL for my summer sausage and have been very happy with the results. What started me on this thread was I realized my last batch I used F-RM-52 that I hadn't realized I got shipped, or ordered incorrectly. Anyway, then I saw a recipe, posted...

    Bactoferm- Which to Use

    Thanks Chopsaw. Being in Arizona, no basement and certainly no ambient house temp of 65. Interesting about not using the ice bath. Any particular reason not to? I've alway brought the IT down to 100 degrees, then let them hang for about 3 hours to "bloom". I've always been told droping the...
