25 LBS. of Willies Snack Sticks.
-
Just did a 25 lb. batch of smack sticks with willie’s seasoning and came out great. Dried for 1 hour in the smoker then add smoke for 4 hours and finished sous vive at 152 for 2 hours . Came out great. And the meat that didn’t go through the stuffer I used the jerky cannon to make jerkAronni. and did it in dehydrator and also came out great.

Ive never heard of souls vide for the last step…genius. Can you explain how you do this step?
Moose_MI Do a search on this site and there is a lot of information about a sous vide finish on sausage.

Moose_MI sous vide is a great way to finish, especially if you do not have a smoker that stays consistent at the lower temp. The people in this community made me a believer. It also works great on many other types of food.

Moose_MI After the sticks dry in the smoker for an hour or so I start adding smoke for about 3 to 4 hours untill they have a nice color. Then I vacuum seal them and place in my container and add preheated water around 160 degrees and set the sous vide at 152 degrees for 2 hours. Then soak and rinse with cold water for about 20 minutes. The take out of the bags and air dry with a small fan for about an hour to help dry and set the casings.

mdseaside they look great

Everything looks great! I am going to have to try sous vide as it appears to shorten the cook time. I seem to always get a stall on my sticks in the smoker and it turns into a long cook.
DJS303 I like it because when I finished them in the smoker they tended to come out a little drier than I like. When you bag them and sous vide it keeps the moisture in and you in my opinion get a better finished product.

mdseaside amen. I know it is personal preference, but I’m sold on the sous vide (water thermal processing) to finish sticks and summer sausage.

mdseaside I read so many posts on sous vide that now I forget who said what, but I’m pretty sure it was a lot of your posts that talked me into it, and GWG8541, and I’m so thankful you did! I do think it is both easier and makes a nicer hmm skin? I did some without the sous vide, and felt the casings were more chewy and not bound to the meat as nicely. The sous vide ones have a nicer snap, to me. I know I wouldn’t have tried sous vide without all the great posts here talking about it!
