Post by: Russ McDonald on October 03, 2013, 11:50:14 AM: It took me over 12 hours to do all this. All taste tested and wow some good stuff. Lots of first for me too. Never did brats or snack sticks. What a sense of accomplishment. I urge those of you that haven't done this give it a try. I did the whole processing of both of my deer from the last two seasons. You will save a bunch of money by doing it your self.

how long are you keeping it on the smoker? Also what temp are you keeping it at?
it really goes by internal temp. First set temp to 135 and brought internal temp to 80. Then set temp to 155 and started with the smoke. Till internal temp hit 140. Set temp to 175 until internal temp hits 152. On the final temp seeing it also says to add water so casings don't get tough. This is the same for the sashimi as the snack sticks. Good instruction in the Hi Country seasoning packages. Total time was about 4 hours on the salami and took a little over 2 hours on the snack sticks. On the snack stocks you can go longer to dry then out more. Kind of like a slim jim just lower temp to 140 and dry to your taste. Miner i did like as snack sausage.

Title: Re: What I am doing while I am home.
Post by: Russ McDonald on October 04, 2013, 06:06:30 PM: Did salami last year and it was ok. Made some adjustments this year and wow. Taste as good as when i had some done by fischer meats. Well worth doing it yourself. You know what your pitying in to it and you can make adjustments. Good luck. Pm me if you need help.
