We are wanting to make some BBQ goose breast snack sticks. I am brand new to making snack sticks and I want to make sure I do this right. I am going to be smoking the resulting product in a Masterbilt electric smoker. I want to make sure I use all the right additives and seasoning. We have had a commercial processor do our sticks in the past and they are pretty good. It’s a pretty sweet BBQ taste and most of our crew loves them but I want to do it myself to save some money. Our bill is usually about $1000.00. I have a mixer and stuffer so could you shoot some tips my way? Thanks a lot guys. I think the biggest thing is the mix ratio and which seasoning to use.

Parksider Is the door to stay open the whole cooking time? Is just opening the top ports not enough? Seems like it would be hard to keep your temp correct with the door cracked.

Got all my ordering done from Waltons, now to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I start my maiden voyage. I have the jalapeno spice mix, the eca, the colagen casings the mixer, the stuffer, the carrot binder, etc… Now I just need to know what wood is good to use in the smoker and how long and when to hit it with smoke. Also have been reading to keep the door open on the smoker. Just opening the vents on top of my Masterbilt is not good enough?

Jonathon Thanks. You are the whip when it comes to this stuff. I am really excited to start making my own sausages and snacks.
