Jonathon OK thanks for the info I will have to get a order in and get started!!

Jonathon The bacon was not cooked and no I did not put bacon in the deer sticks I am thinking it is the bacon, I think I will cook it next time crush or grind it into a powder.I will try to get some pictures the flavor is good but it is just a little bit too greasy. The kids love them though LOL!

Jonathon yes you are right I was talking about the snack stick Honey barbecue and I was thinking the same thing on the bacon flavor I will just stick with the willies and cook the bacon this time before I mix it I think it should turn out really well I have had a honey barbecue from PS Seasoning which was really good I was just curious on the Excalibur thanks

Departing Contestant will do thanks

PapaSop I had them spaced fairly good not saying there it wasn’t a few spots touching but for the most part I think I had them spaced pretty good

Jonathon I will slow my smoke schedule down a little more I thought I had good protein extraction but I can try the sure gel I just bought a pack of that not real familiar with the sure gel

Parksider No they weren’t close to the chimney and I did do a water bath it’s got to either be a rushed it or wasn’t mixed good enough but I mixed for probably 5 minutes by hand So sticky I couldn’t get it off my hands

Departing Contestant Thanks for the reply maybe I will try lower heat next time to see if that makes it any better

OK so I made some snack sticks with 80/20 ground Chuck I cooked bacon Instead of raw this time and chopped up smaller than bacon bits worked great and mixed in with the meat, High temp cheese and Willie snacks Stick Seasoning. Did the first hour at 140 no smoke then I added the smoke did 150 for an hour then 160 for an hour then 170 and finally 180 but I ended up getting pockets of what looks like cheese but I think it’s fat, Or grease And I mixed It till it was so sticky I could barely get it off my hands and note I also did 10 pounds of deer pork mixture and they turned out fine I’m going to send some pictures if I can figure out how too but looking for some input this is driving me crazy!

OK thanks Jonathan another question I have I was talking earlier about using the bacon in the willies snack sticks Seasoning but now I see there is a bacon flavor Seasoning would that be similar to the willies with a bacon flavor or would it be a complete different flavor has anybody tried this one and I also see there is a honey barbecue is anybody happy with that Seasoning?

So in the Seasonings for snack sticks MSG yes or no? And does MSG give more flavor?
