Looking for snack stick recipe

[chopper]

I'm going to try my hand at venison snack sticks this weekend, and was wondering if anyone had a tried and true recipe?

I plan on using ground wild boar and venison (50/50?)

Click here: http://lpoli.50webs.com/Sausage recipes.htm#DRY and scroll down to "Slimmie Jimmie: Italian Style Slim Jims." It sounds corny but trust me on this one. We made some this spring and they were outstanding. We used the Bactoferm LHP for a starter culture. I used 50-50 venison and pork butt with none of the fat removed from the pork. Your wild boar is probably leaner so you may want a little more fat. I am going to make another batch and plan to cut back slightly on the salt and I am going to smoke for a few hours AFTER the incubation period.

Snack Sticks or (Slim Jims)

10 pounds lean ground beef
2 level tsp. Prague Powder #1
4 tbsp. paprika
6 tbsp. ground mustard
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground white pepper
1 tsp. ground celery
1 tbsp. mace
1 tsp. granulated garlic
3 1/2 ozs. kosher salt
1 1/2 ozs. powdered dextrose
6 ozs. Fermento


The last two ingredients are for fermentation and may be omitted if you don't want the tang... After you stuff the beef sticks, for the tangy flavor smoke at 90-110* for 8 hours and letting it go at this temperature for another 12 if you want the tang to fully develop.. Then you raise the smokehouse temperature until the meat reaches 145º internally... If you omit the last two items.. Smoke till 152* Try to keep your smoker around 190-195*...
