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!
