GWG8541 Posting that to our FB and Instagram accounts, let me know if you have either and want to be tagged in it!
Jonathon thanks, but this is pretty much the extent my social media. I have a FB account for Marketplace only.

zbigjeff it was pretty funny. When it blew, it popped loud. I thought I broke my new 11lb stuffer at first.

Dave in AZ ha, I know how to get around on social media, since I had to use it in my previous career. I just stay off of it to keep myself out of trouble. I have a low tolerance for stupid people. Plus I do not care to support some of the media platforms out there. They have become way to political. Thats whats nice about this community.

GWG8541 If you can’t laugh at yourself, it’s not fun. I could’ve seen the look on your face when that “noise” occurred.
zbigjeff my son had just walked in the house when it popped. The look on his face was even better. I can’t post his actual comment, but it was roughly “what the @&$% was that?”. His reaction made me laugh.

Dave in AZ the water doesn’t plump them if you have it up to temp when they go in from drying in the smoker. They will maintain their size the remainder of the thermal finishing. If the meat is cured and put in a smoker for the initial drying, sous vide or thermal processing in water works great. I’ve never had particles become an issue, even from open ends. The water gets a little dark from the smoke and a little (very little) oil may show up on the water. People in this community definitely made me a believer in sous vide for finishing.

Totally agree with you here. Even had some semi wrinkled sticks come out of the SV nice and smooth. Well done!!

I had a little time this weekend to knock out 10 pounds of venison stack sticks using the Willie’s seasoning. I did not use high temp cheese to get a good meaty flavor. The meat block was 6 lbs of venison, 3.5 lbs of pork butt, and a half a pound of pork fat. I used ECA to get them smoking sooner and I like that twang in the sticks. After a few hours in the smoker, I finished sous vide. They turned out great for a rushed job, and it reminded me just how awesome the Willie’s seasoning works on venison. I did have a blowout stuffing, but I’m blaming that on Mr. Jame’s Beam and a tasty single barrel. I also used Walton’s pre-made 8x10 bags and loved those things.
GWG8541 sticks look great

cdavis thanks, one of my best batches. Im always happy when the hard work of harvesting a deer pays off in a great homemade item.
