...
My go to beef used to be $4 a pound tri-tip. Well they got way too much fat in last purchase. Chuck roll holding OK, but knuckle is the winner at $5 per. Since petroleum has jumped $1 a gallon, I'm sure beef had jumped again.
 
Usually I use brisket most times. But yea the tri tips can definitely have a lot of fat on there cap, that one would be good to mix with some venison
 
Looks delicious!!! How long do you let them hang in the closet? are these fermented?
 
Question on storage

Having made so many sticks I am sure you store them somehow for later consumption.
I let them dry like you do and then into FS bags and either freeze or have started to just leave in the fridge. They dont last more thana few months and are fully edible in the fridge under cryo.
My sticks have a tendency to peel off or get soggy when in cryo.
How do you combat this problem?

I’ve never had this problem. I think vacuum sealing makes the meat better. I do lose a little quality when freezing but not too much
 
Thanks for all the nice compliments and glad u guys liked it! Not sure if I’m smoking anything this weekend but hopefully something
