25 lbs of W Beef Stick stuffed and just hanging out til tomorrow when it gets to meet the smoker. That seasoning just smells so good!! I’m gonna buy the Willies with MSG and see if there is a big difference between MSG and nonMSG. I’m still probably gonna like the W Beef Stick better though. Look at that particle definition through the casing, that’s what it’s all about!.
twilliams another great looking batch of sticks. Congrats

Small batch processing after rebuilding the smoker and smoking 3 lbs. of pork cushion cubes to use some in Pozole today, I had ground 5 lbs. for making some snack sticks. I did a 2.5 lb. experimental batch of ham sticks which came out excellent using Imitation Bacon unit seasoning and Maple sugar. The other was a 2.5 lb. batch of pepper stick with added black pepper. I’m happy with that stick too.

craigrice Nice job with the packaging and the sausage too. They should enjoy the eats from their grandpa. I know I have a grandson who goes looking in the fridge for sticks now.

craigrice Those look great. Thanks for sharing the tray source.

zbigjeff Well, cold smoked 'em for 4 hrs, vacuum packed and quality checked 1 pack of 2). Sous Vide at 160 for 1.5 hrs. Took both out of the bag and placed one in a CI to brown. After the finishing process, both methods produced equal taste and are pretty close to the good Slovenian sausage I’ve had in the past. Thinking it’s a win. Will have bona-fide Slovenians whose parents made them back in the day coming in next week for the Kurantevanje (Slovenian Mardi Gras) taste them and get valid 3rd party opinions.
If appearance means anything, they look legit, Jeff. Happy Carnival.
processhead glen Well, the person who cranked for her dad over 20 years came into town (her dad only made one type of sausage for the neighborhood and it was only the type I made. About 200+ lbs each time and 2 times a year.) I cooked them for 1.5 hours at 160, sliced them and she tasted. Conclusion: Taste and texture were very good. The amount of garlic juice was just a little more than her dad’s. Then, she looked up after 2 mins and said: "you pretty much nailed it. The crowning glory was she took 6 Slovenian sausages home with her. I just smiled.

zbigjeff Thanks Jeff, tons of posts in between, could you give us a recap of procedures and recipe?
I remember the basics but not the details!
