Looking good, making snack sticks is on my todo list but 1st I need a meat grinder and stuff!

What kind of casings did you use? Seasonings?
 
I will post in a bit when I try them. I used 19mm collegen casing. Mixed 80/20 ground beef with some ground up pork fat (belly pieces) and my spice mix for 10lbs is as follows:

- 2 tsp Cure #1
- 6 tbls salt
- 1 tbls black pepper
- 1 tbls Ancho Chili powder
- 3/4 tbls garlic powder
- 1.5 tbls sugar
- 2 tsp Cayenne
- 1tsp paprika
-1.5 tbls of crushed red pepper (I grind it a little more )
- 2tbls Frank's red hot
- 1 cup ice water

Mix all ingredients in the ice water and add to meat...mix well and stuff.....dry in smoker at 100 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours.....raise temp every hour by 10 degrees until internal temp is 157 to 160 depending on how dry you want them. I did about 2 hours (after drying) of hickory smoke.
 
All ready to go in the vacuum sealer bags.....taste is awesome.....a little inconsistency with the finish as I had the too close together in the smoker.....lesson for next time!
