Looking for some support with snack sticks.
Use binders? Dry milk powder or anything else?
Season, mix and stuff? Or season mix let sit over night?
Stuff then sit over night or stuff and smoke?
My first batch of sticks I blew the casings right off realized quickly that you don't follow the high mountain directions starting the smoking process at 200. Second batch came out decent I let them come to room temp for a couple hours then refrigerated over night. When I got up in the morning to check on them the casings were wet and just slid right off. They weren't like that when I put them in the fridge. Any thoughts on that?
