Favorite snack stick flavors?
-
Jonathon i can understand why you like the Willies so much. It has really good flavor with a good back end heat. And like i said i notice you like heat in alot of your sticks and jerky. Like Habanero BBQ, Gigiwatt and ghost pepper cheese. I have grown out of the hotness thats why i prefer to have the Bourbon Peppercorn, Ranch and fajita. I do love growing peppers though just to give away as i grow the hottest peppers in the WORLD!! Its really fascinating to me. Id really like to make a snack stick with Carolina Reaper in it, i just have a hard time using my meat for that as i will only give it away to mostly hispanics i know that love the heat.

The bourbon peppercorn is quite tasty. There is a flavor profile there that I’m not picking up on (old taste buds ). Will keep sampling. It’s also the only one of the three I’ll have around for personal use. The maple bacon is to sweet for me and the taco is just that, taco.As I said the kids will love these. I’ll still take the Willie’s as #1.

Had to do a few logs after the sticks. Came out pretty well. Yeah, I know. No cheese. The boys didn’t want it this time. Not sure they’re my children anymore.
PapaSop awesome summer batch!! Great job, i got some cheese that i will be throwing in my next batch of a sample flavor, i cant wait!! Its not gonna be your typical high temp cheese, wonder if you can figure out what its gonna be since your from Wisco

Have any of you guys made summer sausage out of Willies? I want to try some and add some pepper cheese to it.

Sort of. I take what’s leftover from the stuffer, form into a log and smoke. Slices just like summer sausage. -
PapaSop i dont know how to do a thumbs up and thumbs down on here, so hoping you would have said Bourbon Peppercorn superceded Willies…lol.

@ndmike
Absolutely. Without the casing it gets a little dryer on the outside. Actually a nice little chewy rind on the outside. Have plans to do a Willie’s summer sausage just haven’t got to it. The pepper cheese will go in along with some mustard seed. Tried the ghost pepper… no thanks. No sweating unless I’m golfing -

Can only use one of them on the same post from what I can tell. -
twilliams The ranch is a great stick but I feel like it is misnamed, agree or disagree? It should be called something like mild classic or something because I pick up no ranch taste. I’ve even added a decent amount of the dry ranch salad seasoning and it doesn’t really kick up the ranch flavor in my mind BUT the taste is so subjective so I am wanting your opinion. Well, actually I always want everyone’s opinion…okay, this is getting a little rambly!

Jonathon I pick up a very slight, and I mean very slight taste of ranch at the beginning but not all the way through the entire stick. Same with fajita, not much fajita flavor to it. But good flavor all around

Jonathon dry ranch seasoning is good on air fry pork chops

Has anyone had the hot pickles from Porubsky’s in Topeka? I am really wanting to try and dry some and add to a snack stick.

Grimpuppy My recommendation when adding anything that has been pickled is to cut them up and lay them out on a rack for a few hours to let the vinegar evaporate off of the outside at least. Vinegar can denature your proteins and harm your emulsion/bond. I’ve added pickled jalapenos before with this method and was happy with the results.
-
Jonathan you think putting them on screens in the smoker at like 130 degrees for 3-4 hours would be worth it?
-
The end all be all in my opinion is jalapeno with pepper jack cheese.

Can anybody tell me the difference between the Willies (no MSG) and the Willies with the MSG flavor-wise?
I bought and really like the non MSG unit. Was just curious the taste difference. From the amount of reviews,
Non MSG seems the way to go. -
