bocephus okay I figured out what that is. So if I don’t have that option. Just stick with the smoker and it may take 10 hours?? Also if I do choose to buy one. How do you know the internal meat temp if they are suppose to be vacuum sealed?
Blaker25 I have never done it this way but plan to give it a try with an electric roaster, don’t have a sous vide yet. You probably want to look at Jonathan’s post earlier in this thread and also search on sous vide, there is a lot of information from people that have done it.

Are you able to grind and mix the sticks and let it sit for 24 hours without stuffing it!?!!
Blaker25 I stuff and then let sit 24 hours. It is hard to stuff after 24 hours, especially snack sticks
-
Blaker25 I use a turkey roaster.

cdavis That is what I am going to try next time I make snack sticks or summer sausage.

bocephus it works great. I’ve had no problems. It sure saves some long smoker time.

I’ve had snack sticks in my Bradley smoker now for 10 hours and they are stalled out at 120 degrees. Not budging nothing. Im not even sure why they take this long. Does everyone else’s take that long? Does anyone know how to speed up the process? Am I doing something wrong?

Blaker25 mine usually stall at 135 to 140 that’s when I pull them out of the smoker and put them in the turkey roaster. Then they’re finished usually in 30 minutes or less.

cdavis Blaker25 I switched to finishing with sous vide after seeing so many posts on here about them. I am happy with the ease of use and even more happy with the final product. There are several sous vide machines on the market. I picked up an Anova at a decent price on line last year. There are several great posts on here on making a container for a sous vide cooker. My unit was a kit and had a tank with it. Like cdavis has pointed out a roaster will also work as long as you monitor your water temp and do not overcook or under cook with the water. I have a roaster and have used it in the past with great results. The sous vide is just a little easier and allows me to control the water temp a little better. It also circulates the water constantly, which gives an even cooking temp all over. Good luck with you next batch.

What kind of amazing witchcraft is this? I use my sousvide (with naked snack sticks) but always afraid I would mess it up. This could be the ticket

cdavis I never thought of that and have one sitting on shelf that never gets used much. Thanks for the tip!

GWG8541 I can see the water circulation being a huge plus.

RON PARRISH mine was also unused in a closet. It gets a workout now. It holds 12.5lbs of sticks perfectly.

Dr_Pain Why didn’t I think of that. I have 3 of them. Thinking that would work by using one of thermpro probes for big jobs. See, you guys are always thinking.

cdavis that is what I am going to use too!

cdavis don’t have one but just found one on marketplace for $30. May pick it up just for this purpose. Cheaper than a formal sous vide for now.
