What is the best temperature to cook venison snack sticks at in the oven, it seems like they take longer than what they should take. My oven goes down to 170 degrees, what do you guys suggest?
No smoker and theses are in collagen casings. I need to get a cheap small smoker sometime.I did my Unstuffed Sticks in my Smoker, but I started lower to get more smoke, and jacked it up to finish them.
I would say if you have to use the oven, 170° would be fine for the whole time.
That however would take a long time because the temp isn't much higher than you're taking the Sticks to finish.
No Smoker??
My "Unstuffed Sticks":
Unstuffed Beef Sticks (All Beef)

I believe it was like 10 hours the last time, I have it wrote down somewhere.I do mine in a dehydrater set at 155°. It takes about 6 hours. I only finish mine in the oven for 15 minutes set at 200° rack all the way up. A lot of variables come into play. Thickness, fat content, casings or no casings, etc. How long does it take you?
