Thank you all for the replies! I’ll let you know how they turn out!

So I love the sweet chili snack stick seasoning-wondering if anyone has a recipe for sweet chili brats? I’ve tried using snack stick seasoning for brats-never has worked out. Any suggestions?

I just made some brats w deer and pork butt-I used 50/50, and they came out great!

Cool. Thanks. Maybe I’ll just do a pound and see how it tastes

Wondering if I could use the jalapeño summer sausage seasoning for bratwurst? Of course leaving out other additives. Anyone tried this?

I gave it a shot, and even cut seasoning in half-still to salty. Wouldn’t recommend. Was worth a shot and now have jalapeño brat seasoning on the way

No worries at all-could’ve just as easily worked out the other way!

Finally got around to making those hot dogs. I’d say they turned out pretty darn good for first time. I took some to work, and they were devoured in short order! Next time I’d give the meat an additional grind or even two vs grinding just twice.

The only drawback I can come up with is that the grease/fat that cooks out and is held in by the casings make it a bit messy and not great eye appeal after stripping the casing. What do you all think about giving them a quick dip in hot water to get rid of some of the fat?

Going to try making some hot dogs today and wondering since the seasoning mix contains sodium erythorbate, do I need to hold for 12 hours? Thanks

I made some snack sticks today using ECA, and carrot fiber. I just finished stuffing when I had to leave for a family Illness, and had to cover and put sticks in fridge. How long can they stay there without cooking or smoking? May not be able to get to them until tomorrow or maybe Friday.

Thanks all! SF!

So I know you need to go straight from stuffing to smoker when using encapsulated citric acid on snack sticks, just wondering if there is and leeway in this-could I hold for 4-5 hours before putting into smoker, or is it literally from stuffing to smoking?

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for all the great advice!

I’ve been making sticks in smoker with good results-wondering if anyone is doing strictly in oven? I have access to an oven that goes down to 120 degrees, so the question would be would I follow the same cooking schedule in oven as I do smoker-125 hour, 140hour, 155 2 hours, and finally 175 until internal temp of 160. Any tips would be appreciated!
