<![CDATA[Snack sticks without ECA refrigerator time?]]>I am making some venison snack sticks but plan to not add any ECA. I seem to recall that you need to let sit in refrigerator for 12 hr. after stuffing and before smoking. Is that correct or was it 24 hr?

TANG IS KING! But, if you dont like it |Smoked-Meat-Stabilizer and if you have a very accurate scale then Sodium Erythorbate works as a cure accelerator as well and it imparts no tang.

Is there any advantage of using sodium erythorbate instead of smoked meat stabilizer?

I also do not like the tang of ECA.

I use smoked meat stabilizer in a lot of the stuff I do because I don’t care for the tang of ECA. The Smoked Meat Stabilizer doesn’t impart any flavor.
