Arnie Hofer I am not very familiar with those. I have used the high mt jerky kits but was a long time ago. I would think you could mix the seasonings as long as the cure wasnt already in it. pretty sure the cure comes seperate though. If not it would be a problem. I am sure there is someone here that might be able to answer your question a little better and the nice thing about this community is they will help you out
Sous Vide snack sticks

After reading some stuff on here about sous vide method of snack sticks I decide I had to try it out.
I used 50% venison and 50% 70/30 beef with some high temp cheese. I’m really working on the technique more than the recipe right now, but I think this is going to work.
I put the in my dehydrator to dry them out a little more.
I cold smoked them for around 3 hours as well. -
Lance they look really nice. Were you happy with the results? I have not tried to finish with sous vide yet, but would like to try it

Lance thanks for the reply. I am a ‘‘don’t fix it if it isn’t broke’’ person,but I am interested in the SV. I bought one and love it for cooking but haven’t taken the plunge with sausage yet

Good job. I have been doing the same process you (more or less) use for about a year and a half now and love how they come out. Nice and moist and still have that snap to them.

I never thought about using a dehydrator. I normally sous vide them straight in the water (no bag) and then I hang them with a fan and bloom them overnight. I ay have to ray your technique

The dehydrator is a cool trick that will be my next try. Thanks for info.
-
Lance what temp do you set the dehydrator?. Funny I just ordered one for the same purpose
