need a recipe for my ac legg bbq snack stick seasoning

[backwoods bbq]

well i followed nepas ac legg snack stick recipe last weekend except i added some high temp cheddar cheese. they turned out pretty good. they were slightly soft in the middle i wonder was that from them having cheese? 19mm casings btw. i did 135 for 1.5 hours then bumped to 155-160/165 for 3.5 more hours. should i smoke the next batch for longer while gradually increasing the temp? if i do the same recipe as nepas (6 tbs #116) can i substitute for this bbq seasoning or is it stronger and wont need as much for 5# batch?

What was the IT of the sticks when you pulled them from the smoker ?

My sticks on average take about 10 hrs. to get to a IT of 150deg.
And I use 17 mm casings.as for the seasoning for 5lb of meat I use
3.5 oz. No sure how many Tbsp this is but I use a digital scale.
Did you use a high temp cheese? I put hi temp cheese in mine
Ans never changes meat consistency. I'm thinking your sticks were just under cooked
