Hot Elk Sticks...

[sam3]

Trying something different today.

Using Owen's BBQ Chipolte Wildfire Mix with some added flavors.

3lbs ground Elk
2lb ground Poke
4oz of Chipolte Wildfire Mix
1/3cup Water
1 tsp Cure 1
4oz SBR
2oz Srirachi Sauce


Mix well, stuff into 21mm Collagen. Hang to dry for a bit.


Put these in the Bradley at 130 for an hour to dry. Set up the Auber PID and ran 140-170, bumping 10 degrees each hour. These got 3hrs of Hickory smoke.
6hrs later, we're done. I don't ice bath my sticks.


Gonna let this mellow out for a day in the refrig. QC sample was outstanding!
Heat and sweet!
Will post some sliced shots later

Sam..........I was with you all the way........until the SBR's. I use that stuff on BBQ goodies now and then but don't think I have ever heard of it in sausage. I just got my order of Wildfire last week and I have a small pkg of veni in the freezer. Guess I'm just going to have to try this out. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

That's the fun of making sticks Brad, trying something new! I've done this combo with another mix and liked it. So I wanted to see how it would taste with the Wildfire mix.

I like it a lot. Great texture and flavor.

I'll get up some sliced shots later or tomorrow AM.

Here are some sliced shots. Texture is perfect for me.

Thanks Adam!

I am going to substitute the water with some good Bourbon the next time, as someone on another forum suggested.
