Thanks for all of your guys input. I appreciate it. As you can probably tell I’m a newbie. I was able to stuff them last night. I’ll be smoking them early tomorrow morning and then doing the sous vide. I’ll try using the frig to make them a little dryer after processing. Outside temp is supposed to be in the single digits tomorrow morning. Where the heck is Spring when we need it. Ha Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply and the explanation on SE. Appreciate it.
I won’t use the SE this time around. I know you said 24 hour hold is optimal, but without the SE can I possibly hold for 48?

I’ve made venison summer sausage before and stuffed and smoked right away and then finished in sous vide. I do use sodium erythorbate. Because of lack of time, I’m wondering if I can stuff in casings and let sit 1- 2 nights in frig uncovered before smoking. The ones I smoked right away and sous vide turned out good, but I’d prefer them to be a little dryer. Thinking maybe sitting in frig before smoking would help? Anyone ever done this?

Appreciate all the info! Think I’ll have to wait and order some sure gel. Hate to go through all the work and not have it turn out good. Thanks again!

Wondering if I have to use sure gel or any type of binder in my summer sausage…reason I’m asking is I’m ready to go, but found out I don’t have a binder… First time making summer…

Has anyone tried smoking snack sticks and then finishing in sous vide?
