Default First Attempt At Snack Sticks

Decided to try giving snack sticks a whirl.

5lb test batch. 50/50 pork and beef.

Wille's Snack Stick Seasoning from Walton's
Sure Gel meat binder
Encapsulated Citric Acid

Hand mix for about 10 minutes to get good protein extraction. Stuffed into 19mm casings.

I was worried about thermal processing and fatting out because my Rec-Teq 700 can only go as low 180*....but monitored temps and in about 2.5 hours the IT was around around 145* and then decided to finish in a 170* water bath in our turkey roaster. Took about 45ish minutes to get them to an IT of about 165*. Then into an ice bath for about 20-30 minutes. Let bloom at room temp for about an hour then over night to further air dry in fridge.

Very happy with the results. Thanks for looking.

Those look great! I’ve done ground beef strip style jerky and sliced muscle jerky but never tried snack sticks even though I like them a lot.

Looks great, sausages are 1 thing a electric smoker can do better than just about any other smoker imo. that's 1 reason I keep mine.

Part of me wishes they didn't come out so good, so I could have told the wife, see I need a dedicated sausage/jerky smoker! Hahaha

Default Lo Temp cooking

Living in apartment community with limited space, and being poor I have learned to cook jerky, sausage etc as low as 120F on a WSM 22. Must be available to check fire when a small change of temp occurs. I make sausage frequently and I smoke beef jerky weekly.
