Walton's Snack Stick Seasonings

Willies is good as is the bourbon.

Tompayne I would call it a spicy meat stick, with enough without it having too much. Hot is a very subjective term, what is hot some is not others. But heat like hot peppers, maybe just a light touch of a jalapeno that a good ABT would have. I don’t call that hot.

Willies is spicy to me and not too spicy. You should do a couple of 2 to 3 pound batches all at the same time. 1 left alone, 1 with 1/2 added and 1 with all of your additives as normal.

Denny O Thanks for the input Denny, and that’s pretty much how I arrived at the different amounts of extra stuff to add in the different blends I use, you can’t use the same amounts across the board because some of them are “close enough” as is where some of the others need more “help”. So through trial and error I came up with additions that I deemed good and recorded the added amounts of each ingredient for each different blend. It was worth all the experimentation over the years as the “updated” versions are definitely much better with the extra help!! All of us on this site are experimenters, I think that’s half the fun of making your own meat products, that never ending quest for the next best seasoning blend ever!!! HAHAOUTLOUD!!!

Tompayne I gotta agree, that is how you make it your own. Some of the seasonings I maybe add a percent to the batch. Some I may add a little extra something. Then I come up with what we like, I record and then don’t change it. With the Willies it is just adding the cheddar cheese in a snack stick and leave all else alone.

edit, In snack sticks I believe the diameter of the casings play into the overall enjoyment of the stick. Some times smaller is better than a larger diameter and then there are some that are reversed.

Oh and I’ve never tried the “H” blend seasoning.

Willies is my go to snack stix. I add dehydrated jalapeños and high heat cheddar to the mix.

For me Willies has a little spice but not hot,
but when my 12 year old daughter ate one, it was to spicy/hot for her.

There’s a reason why Waltons says Willie’s is their #1 seller. Bloody Mary is good too.

I made summer sausage with the H Sumer seasoning and add cheddar to it and some red pepper flakes to give it a little kick

Tompayne Willie's Snack Stick Seasoning Is our best seller and the one I am most consistently happy to eat a lot of. To Dave in AZ point, there is some good black pepper heat to it, so while for most people it wont be too spicy it will be for some.

Habanero BBQ is another favorite of mine
Buffalo Wing is a favorite with beef and ECA
Then if you want something really different the Dill Pickle Flavored Jerky and Snack Stick Seasoning is really good. Enjoy!

Tompayne I am going to make some habanero BBQ next month for hunting. I haven’t tried them yet but have heard a lot of good reviews.

Jonathon What was Dave in AZ 's point?

Denny O what? Did somebody call me? I’m not in this thread so far, but I do like Willies snack stick the best?

So I want to thank all you guys for your thoughts on the Willie’s Snack Stick blend. So yesterday I put together an order for Willie’s and a few other items. This being my first purchase from Walton’s I was seriously impressed with the speed at which they address an order!! I emailed my order and received an email back like 40 minutes later that a shipping label had already been printed, then the order was actually shipped around 5 hours later!!! I was shocked and totally impressed as I don’t know that I have ever had an online order of any kind that was addressed with that speed!! Just wanted to acknowledge and compliment Walton’s on their super service, very impressive!!! Thank you!!

Love Walton’s speed. If you get your order to them by 5:00pm, it goes on the truck that day.

Denny O

Dave in AZ exactly Dave, I couldn’t figure out your input either. It is impossible to follow that guy from Wichita sometimes.

Tompayne

So I ordered my stuff Friday afternoon about 2 pm from Walton’s, as stated earlier in this thread, and it was on my front porch today, Monday before noon!!! I don’t see how you could beat that service with a stick!!!

Careful. I think my last order arrived before I hit “purchase” on the shopping cart. The warehouse staff are mind readers.

Here’s a shot into the dark. I’m recently retired and have taken up the hobbies of Smoking and Sausage making. Now, the hard part… I grew up in Central Pennsylvania and have always been addicted to the fresh sausage, link sausage, and beef sticks from the local butcher shops there. Namely, Weavers of Wellsville, Weavers in Dover, and Clyde Weavers in the Lancaster area. My question is, is anyone familiar with them and have you had any kind of success for coming up with a recipe that closely resembles their flavor. Basically, since I have few relatives still left living up there and unless I drive there… I have to figure out how to recreate it or have it shipped (which I do now for Lebanon Bologna, Fresh sausage links, and snack sticks). I’m really looking to do just a bulk loose fresh sausage to get it right before I start incorporating the stuffer. TIA to anyone that might have some clues to offer.

I might be able to help you nail down the seasonings.

But first please send me the sausages that you are asking about so I may know the flavors that you are requesting.

I thought this was worth a try anyway.
Te He he.
