This weekend I decided to make Teriyaki and Pepperoni flavored snack sticks. Here are a few pictures/videos of the process..

Steps-

60 pounds of elk burger 20% beef fat mix. I also added 30 pounds of pork shoulder.
Total 90 pounds of meat

Ground 1 time, using my 1 HP grinder with 7mm grinding plate

Mixed in my Cabela's 7 gallon mixer

I used the Cabela's seasonings

I then cased everything up using the 1 HP grinder stuffing attachments (21mm casings)

Let it refrigerate overnight to stiffen up the casings

Smoker Steps-

I used a Bradley Digital 6 Rack with Mesquite for the smoke flavor

Warm the smoker to 120 degrees for the first hour.

Once 120 degrees is reached I place the meat in the smoker for 5-6 hours, pending the outside temperature.

I smoke for the first 2 hours and turn in off for the remaining 3-4 hours. Some will turn the smoker back on for the last hour of the process.

Once completed I remove the casings and refrigerate over night.

Cut to the desired lengths and package using a Food Saver.

Into the freezer

Enjoy...GH
