Well, I will rate this project a success. These things are out of sight. Only thing I will do in the future is test a piece for flavoring before I stuff them. I usually do that with sausage, and not sure why I didn't this time. Nothing wrong, I just could have tweaked the seasonings a tad. But still very very good
Here is them out of the smoker before slicing
And a couple money shots of them sliced up ready for packaging
I started off with 6.5 pounds of ground meat and finished weight was just over 4# of snack sticks. I took some to my buddy (one that just had brain surgery) and he said they were off the chart, and better by far than anything he ever bought in the store.
Will definitely be doing these in the future. No wild hogs ever get a free pass ever again!!!
Looks much easier with a stuffer. Gotta put one on the list this year... Looks good man!
Those look good!

Honestly no secret to it. I just followed the directions on the kit. Only thing you gotta be careful of is the meat temp and the smoker temp. I can see where this could go bad real quick if there is too much heat or smoke. Very low and slow on these, and a good meat thermometer.
I may take a pack of them and put them on the dehydrator and do an experiment to see how they turn out. Sorta like a jerky stick.
My son and i have gone nuts over them. He has eaten a pile of them.
