Got a gift card for Bass Pro for my birthday.

Man..... that place is as big as Walmart!!

I got a can of food grade spray silicone and a Hi Mountain pepperoni snack stick kit.

The recipe says lean meat, so I picked up 4 pounds of on sale eye round.

After reading and checking my stuffer I found I didn't have a 3/8 tube. 

Went back out to BP and looked at the tubes...none with a small enough bell for the 5 pound stuffer.

Sound familiar Les???

I got the bigger bell one and cut it down to fit. It worked ok..just not long enough.

 Anyway got everything ground and mixed and stuffed with no issues.

Smoked them to 155 using pecan dust in my trusty AMAZEN.

Not real impressed right away with the taste..yup yup just like pepperoni.

Prolly be better tomorrow.

Glad I tried it,seems like using a little pork might help it out some.

Have a great day!!

Hey craig, it sounds too familiar!! I'm still going to have to order a 3/8 tube...i keep trying to explain to the wife that i have all the casings and that i need that tube ...she's not hearing it..lol. I have to argee that the plastic tubes are way to short.  Don't worry they will be better tomorrow,they always are better the next day!! But i guess if ya want you can always send me some,just to make sure!!! .As far as the pork goes,i can't say cause i have'nt done sticks yet without using any pork! Your stick look great!! Nice job!!   les
 
Looks good and I have to order a smaller tube as well
 
Those sticks look great Craig!

They'll probably taste better tomorrow, or maybe add some of your own seasoning to them next time.

I don't think the pork itself will change the flavor much.

Les---Why is it when we get a bunch of stuff, the women never believe that it just won't quite work right unless we get that one other thing???

Watch out with the shoe comments!!!  You need the right shoe for the right look.  I should add new ones to my list of things that I am getting with the nice chunk of change my husband just gave me!!! I had only been thinking of what somer accessories I needed!

Here is one of her shoe storage bins. These are mostly the heels. Many more in boxes in other areas and then there is the boots and flats.

 Then there is the shoes she can't walk in...bedroom shoes..  wheeeeee!

LOL---Mrs Bear isn't big on a lot of shoes or too many clothes---It's those darn Longaberger Baskets every place I turn!!!!

I heard that old saying changed too---Now it goes like this:

"Women, can't live with 'em, Pour me another Beer".

Bear
 
The sticks taste much better today!!!

I am happy!!

 Have a great day and have fun!!
