I have been making snack sticks the past couple weeks with Gus and Jen and they have been turning out really well. I have never made snack sticks, but have made a lot of fresh sausages and fermented sausages like Landjaeger, Soppressata, Pepperoni, etc.
Gus wanted to make snack sticks from his deer. The donor:
First batches just out of the smoker, 15 pounds of Jagerwurst and 15 pounds of Hot Sticks:
Batch we did these this weekend, 15 pounds of basically Summer Sausage as a Snack Stick:
Cutting for packaging:
Ready for packaging:
New toys. We had been using an entry level chamber vac (VP 112) and upgraded to the VP 215, what an improvement in speed, ease, quality and noise reduction. Also upgraded the stuffer from a 5 pound vertical to a 15 pound horizontal.
I got these reloaded for him on Friday for next year, so hopefully they will be put to good use:
