I got a snack stick it from Cabela's and have been trying to smoke some sticks. This is my third batch and I'm not happy yet.
Here is what I did:
I bought 80/20 ground beef
I mixed the cold beef with the cure
Then mixed it with the seasoning
I have a Jerky Pistol and used it to fill the 21mm cologen casings
Then I refrigerated the sticks overnight
I smoked them at 100° for an hour on the racks
Then 125° for 5 hours
Then brought them up to 170° (maybe 4-5hrs)
Then let them cool to 100° before refrigerating
Basicly I tried to follow the directions on the package.
I ended up with fat pockets and air pockets and shriveled casings. Any advice?
