If saltiness is an issue, you should look at the Equilibrium method, then you shouldn’t have to worry about rinsing.
Stick time
-
Made some deer sticks for a friend. 16 pounds venison and 12 pounds pork butt. Went with h summer sausage seasoning I had on hand and added teriyaki to 10 pounds. Used 21mm fresh for the teriyaki and 32 for regular with cheddar, what he wanted. I’m not a teriyaki fan so haven’t tried them, I’ll get his opinion.

Joemy96 they look really nice

Joemy96 those look great. I noticed you lay your sticks flat to smoke. I do that because I’ve been using a GMG. Just bought a Matterbuilt and was wondering about hanging them. Have you tried that? If so, what were your results?
-
Those turned out looking good. Joemy96. Which do you prefer for snack sticks, the 21mm or 32mm ?
-
I’ve only done sticks once so far in my MB but hanging give you way more room. I did not use any cheese but the cane out great.

Joemy96 Those look great

wdaly I haven’t tried hanging. Main reason is the temp difference between the top and bottom of the pit boss. The bottom would burn and top would be raw.
-
processhead I prefer 21 or even 19. Only downside is when using cheese, they are harder to stuff with a smaller tube.

cdavis is that extra pan in there for moisture?
-
cdavis the bottom don’t burn? My pitboss can very 30-50 degrees from top to bottom.
-
mrobisr I run no water in it for 2 hours, I already had removed the foil to add water to get the steam to help set the casings. The pan also helps drippings from getting into the fire pot.

Joemy96 I’ve checked mine. It’s about 10 degrees difference top to bottom. I don’t run my sticks all the way to the bottom and they cook pretty evenly.
-
Joemy96 I think this is one of the first time I see a stick cut before cooking rather than cut after cooking. Are the ends pretty crispy that way, or better yet, what is the advantage (since you could coil them flat on the rack the same. Just a newb question
-
Dr_Pain the 32 don’t coil to good so I cut them to fit my smoker grates. They do get crispy. I cut that part off and package separately
