My name is Johnny Radford. I’m from Illinois. I started making my own deer sticks this year using Waltons seasonings. And everyone that has tried them really liked them. The question T. Williams told me to ask you is: is it feasible for me to use the cheeseburger cheddarwurst brat seasoning to make deer sticks? -
Allllllll riiiighty… so, some test batches are done. First group is the “surprise” batch I’ve been working on. Unfortunately I apparently didn’t stuff them as well so texture isn’t where I’d like it
but the flavor is BACON CHEESE BURGER!!!
Yes, actual bacon bits are in there!
Center batch is Honey BBQ which turned out perfect! The small batch at the right is using the Parmesan Garlic Bratwurst seasoning and it turned out pretty good.
Overall, very happy with today’s outcome

One thing you can is try is to crack the door so all the heat is not contained inside.
The problem is, If your smoker has temperature controls, it may just try and compensate for the temperature drop by feeding more pellets and air to the fire pot. -
I don’t have a pellet smoker and not sure if this will work but what if you don’t put any pellets in the hopper and crack open the lid? A remote thermometer would let you know what your temp is inside the cooker. After an hour at 125 and then an hour at 145 you’d be able to add pellets and set the temp for 160 for 2 hours. Then set the temp for 175 till the snack sticks reach 155 internal. Hope you can find a way to make it work. Randy.

Randyman No pellets, no heat source. They create the smoke and the heat, cracking the door will drop the temperature but will also increase the amount of pellets being used since the thermostat will try to keep the temps up.

Yeah-I talked to my son today who has a pellet smoker and he told me the same thing. Sounds like someone needs a new smoker that will start low and slow! R!
Randyman Another option would be to start them in the oven and transfer to the smoker/grill or add hickory smoke powder and leave in the oven to finish or bring to temp and finish SV.

Randyman but then again who could say no to a newer smoker

I’d love to have about 10 smokers, all going at once in a circle with my lawn chair in the middle and a cooler full of ice cold beer haha

I use a cold smoke generator and a few inexpensive electric burners to get the lower temperatures with smoke. There are a bunch of cold smoke generators out there, but I use one called the Big Kahuna from smokedaddyinc. Oftentimes, I don’t even bother with the pellets and just vacuum seal the snack sticks and throw them in a sous vide bath at 155 degrees for about 60 minutes to finish them off.

Two pounds of bacon fried up then put through the food processor to make my own bacon bits.
Not a fan of prepackaged bacon bits. And, I buy the “irregular slices” so it’s cheaper too
