  • New from Illinois

    I've been at smoking for a little while but have not tried many different things. I feel I make a good venison summer sausage but need to improve my snack sticks. I already have some ideas on how to do that by reading this forum. I started out with a Masterbuilt gas smoker which I still have and now use a Masterbuilt electric smoker. Looking forward to learning more.

    For sticks this is my go-to recipe. It's based on the AC LEGG #116 snack stick formula which is then tweaked. 2 things are essential IMO, ECA (encapsulated citric acid) for the slim jim type twang, and a phosphate binder.

    I usually stuff into 21mm or 19mm collagen casings and smoke in an electric highly modified MES 30 analog over pellets. I lay mine flat on the racks and will occasionally rotate the racks around (top to bottom and left to right) to help even out the heating.

    I love coming home. My back porch smells just like a BBQ joint.....

                        I was stuck in a rut at one time too. In my youth, I smoked some Illegal greens , tried and hated cigs, even tried a pipe and now I smoke a variety of imported cigars.
