Made snack sticks ( slim Jim's ) today.. Used fresh deer and fresh wild hog taken a week ago. Deboned and cubed to run through my small grinder On a course die. Mixed and seasoned meat with different spices see pic below. Then grinded meat again with mid. Die. I built my smokehouse last week and cured yesterday. Finished stuffing slim Jim's about 2 pm and let dry on kitchen table under ceiling fan..mean time got the smoker fired up and warming up. 3pm got slim Jim's in smokehouse . Smoking with mosquite wood chucks.. Adacamy was out of hickory after that what I cured it with .. Oh well! Held temp at 130-135F for 2 hrs.. And easing it up 10 degrees till I get to 165F.. Blessing of my smokehouse hope it turns out good !!
 
Looks like your off to a great start.............................

Well, got them out of the smokehouse and inside. Got them cut up and letting them finish cooling .. Didn't put them in ice because I wanted the Snap! From the casing. Go a great smoke taste from the mosquite wood. Here are a few pics with them before I pulled them out.
 
Made another 30Ibs. Of snack sticks last nite. Pretty much same recipe. A little of this and little of that.. First round I spread the weight out on sticks between 5 sticks.. This time I loaded them all on 3 sticks to get an idea how much I can run.
 
30 lbs of snack stick...... dang....you were sure busy for a while..... Nice job....
