Well I took the deer that Jerry gae me and groud up most of it for snack sticks. I used 2 kits from Hi Mountain that does 20 pounds each. I used a misture of 70& venison, 20% beef and 10% pork and stuffed into 20mm casings. I let them set over night and just put half on to smoke.
Leason Learned:::::I made long ropes and as I was putting them over the dowels in the smoker they were breaking on the dowel. I think next time I will make 5 foot ropes and leave some casing on teh ends and tie togeher and put the tied casings on teh dowls. I may have over stuffed as well.
They are in the smoker none the less I just could not get them all in there at once....No worries
These are the smoking instructions Im using

I also made 10 pounds of summer sausage from a kit from LEM. I used the same mixture as the snack sticks but I added some pepper cheese and some Jalapenos hat I dehydrated. Stuffed into clear fiberous casings and let sit over night. They to are now in the smoker. More to come!!!!!
