Snack stick help

[jeffr6596]

Made snack sticks for the first time. Used same recipe as i use for summer sausage chubs.

I bought 17mm callogen casings as that is the size i saw on here and other places.

They did not come out as snack stick size. They are the size of hot dogs. What size casings do you use for slim Jim type sticks?

Slim Jim are more 10-12mm

Those 17’s must have been mislabeled because dogs are in the 20mm range.

15mm are great but hard to find. I typically use 16mm casings, not as small as a true Slim Jim but are small meat stick size.
