Venison Snack Sticks

[Trying Hard]

After spending time reading how to make snack sticks in this forum, I finally made my first time ever snack sticks. It’s a 80/20 ratio, 80% venison meat and 20% pork mixed with Owen’s Honey BBQ seasoning and hot temp cheddar cheese using Smoketo collagen casing (19mm). I started at 115 F for 1 1/2 hr then 150F for 2 hours and 175 F until the IT reached 152 degrees. I let them cool down before putting them inside the fridge for one night before packing them in. Wife and daughter, and of course myself, enjoyed eating some of it before vac sealing them. Here’s some of the photos of the left over sticks. Thanks so much for this forum and to the members who have been posting about snack sticks.

Good morning from Canada. Yes, it was my first attempt. Owen’s BBQ don’t ship there products here in Canada so I have to order from them and pick it up at the border. I will definitely order and try some of there seasonings again.

I'm going to have to give a big "HELL YEA" on the first time snack sticks...

My only suggestion would be to ditch the expensive, nasty tasting (IMO) high temp cheese and just go with a good hard cheese cubed up...

Thank you. What flavour would you recommend as I’m planning to order Chipotle for snack sticks.
