Wonder how many could have named it?If you had a picture of that, from directly above, where the numbers were not visible, we could have a "Name this object" contest....

Thanks SB......Nice sticks !!!!
Hey Joe, morning... Yes it is.... Just a little modified..... works good now.... The vac bags are for putting them away for awhile... there is too much stuff to eat around here now...Don't know how I missed this one Dave.. The sticks look great. Is that smoker a MES 30.. Why did you waste the vacuum bags.. You know they aren't going to last long....LOL
Pretty creative Dave! The sticks look wonderful
Thanks .... DaveLooks like you got it going on just fine ! Nice work !
unfortunately I knew what this is, I used to get yelled at repeatedly for playing with itWonder how many could have named it?
I found a few telescoping curtain rods... cut to length, crimped the ends, and covered with aluminum foil... The rods were slid inside each other to double them up.... I originally thought I could hang them on the racks but that failed so I had to come up with a plan in a hurry... they work very well... I think I will keep them... DaveVery nice looking sticks. Very good idea on making your own stuffing tube. I have a similar smoker. What are you using to hang the snack sticks on?
Nice tip Dave, the next time I make sticks I am going to try this - great idea.At least there is no threat to over cooking... set at 110, walk away.... set at 120 ish, add smoke, walk away.... set at 160, wait for the IT....
Pretty slick and easy..... I like the finished product.
Check this link.... nepas recommended the 24 hour smoke for flavor development... I just follow his lead...Dave,
do you put in the smoker right away or did you wait for the cure to do it's work? Into the smoker to rest.... It was cold...
I normally stuff mine and in the frig over night
you started yours at a lower temp then I have, going to try your method here in a couple of weeks, got about 20#'s of deer.
have you every done the ice bath instead of cooling in the smoker? Letting the sticks cool at room/smoker temp allows the casing to shrink .... I like the wrinkled look.....
thanks for the posting!!
