Hey all, just had a question for the forum SV’ers! I tried to search the SV part of the forum before asking... but either I didn’t put the right words into the search or possibly missed it if there was a thread with the info!

So my question is, going to do some snack sticks here the next couple weekends! I’ll hang like normal in the MES 30 to start! I was thinking after somewhere in the four to five hour mark pulling them, vac seal and finish in the SV!

Anyone done this or see any reason this approach would or would not work!

Thanks for any input and feedback!

Great info Case, thanks for the link!
 
Ive done smoked ring sausage this way in natural casings. I dont vac pack them just straight into the water bath. I just smoke until I get the color I like. Not sure about collagen casing if thats what your planing on using.

Almost always I use SV method to finish my sausages: Polska kielbasa, Krakovska, Bologna, Beef sausage, etc.... Water temp set to 153F and couple of probes into sausage while pouching.... Kabanosy always finished in the smoker just because of sausage's small diameter. Never tried snack sticks though. I think SV should work for sticks without any problem...

Justin, I see no problem with it. I'm assuming your cutting bags to fit the snack stick size or cutting the sticks to fit the SV container? SV is my go to method for VSS and I love the results.

Thanks for dropping a line and the input! Was debating either collagen or sheep casings!

Sorry for the very late response CM, somehow I missed your reply! Yes, likely cutting the sticks to fit in the bags. Great to hear on the VSS! Thanks for the input, appreciate it!
