Snack Stix (Deer)

[DeerMadness]

My first time I've made Snack Stix. Cabelas Original Flavor. I added a couple Tablespoons of Freshly ground Black Pepper. Amazing, but oh so much work. I have Jalapeño Summer Sausage in the Smoker now. Jerky curing for tomorrow's round and I will make 50 lbs more of the Snack Stix.

Been making snack sticks for years.

Yeah it's a lot of work but one of my favorites as well as for family and friends.

Summer is soooo much easier to make.

Beautiful array hanging there!!

Nice job Slick. Nice smoker too. My Masterbuilt isn't huge but it has 6 trays. Maybe I should hang them. Do they ever break when you take them out? Do yiu like the Stix or the Sausage better ?

Oh, and with gas is your temp pretty constant ? I had a gas smoker years ago and returned it due to flame going out.

 

[Slick8]

I like both equally well.
The Sticks rarely brake when I remove them. They're long enough that there's still some flexibility.
Yeah the gas makes it's easier to control temp providing it's cold enough outside. Not always easy to plan a cooking weekend with southeast Texas westher.

Don't think you can purchase those guys on Amazon or Cabellas. Awesome, im envious.

Jerky came out good. I decided not to make it sweet and just stay with the original flavor. After my smoker gave up the ghost, I had to buy a new one. It is the same 40". I think I will buy some materials and add one or two more racks. It keeps the heat constant so I think it would be fine.
