We use non fst dry milk as a binder instead of sure gel. It is also super important to keep the meat and the equipment really cold. This helps with the bind when salt is added, and keeps the meat from smearing and fatting out.

This is the best most Descriptive video about how to make snack sticks on KZread

Fantastic & Thank you Jon for all...

Thanks! Now, it should have about 500 more views BUT Jon uploaded the wrong video so we had to take it down. Minor differences but they were changes he demanded be made and then he goes and uploads the wrong video! This is Jon by the way, technology baffles me sometimes!

Marvelous & Thanks for all...

This was great! Thanks for this video!

Just simply a great video.

Looks delicious

Saying Cheddar cheese and dill don’t go together is a hot take for sure. Literally that would a cheeseburger flavored snack stick!

Thanks for this interesting video!

. InFormative… Thanks man!

Thanks Shane, if you ever want to make your own, we have everything you'd need! The only difference is slim jims are usually super thin, we don't recommend that size for a home processor as it adds many complications to the processing and smoke schedule. Anyway, thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

Love some good meat sticks.

Instead of sure gel, could milk powder be used as a binder?

I’d like to see a video on making Turkey snack sticks. Can’t seem to find much info on it.

Look at their pheasant pepperoni sticks. I bet you could use turkey the same

How do you regulate whether it’s stuffed too lightly or too much

Can these be cooked in a kitchen oven?

I agree with SinisterMD

Thank you Tamara, we are going to be redoing our older videos in this format, those videos have a decent amount of views but the current processes, equipment, and even additives are so more advanced than those older videos that we think it is worth it to start from scratch! We will be releasing a Ring Bologna either this Sunday or next Sunday!

How long to cook it at 150 with the sponges?

You mention 120 1 hr, 130-140 1 hr, 150 add smoke and sponge but for how long, an hour I assume? And when you do 160 for an hour(?) and 175 after that, do you keep the sponge in and wet, or use it only for the 1 hr(?) at 150?

Never mentioned the time at 150° when you add smoke/humidity

I was wondering the same beings he says to take them out of the smoker to bloom right after talking about the ice bath. But I would assume it's til they are under cooking temp?

Does anybody know what the best instrument is for taking internal temperature of the snack sticks?

Thermometer

Again. a gereat video but the finishing of the sticks differes from your previouse videos and I am curiouse as to why. In this video, after the ice bath and alowing for time for "blooming", you state that it goes back into the cooler for a day and then you take them out, rest for an hour or so then package. Whereas, one of you earlier videos talked about packaging after smoking with a short period between for drying. Why the change? It is a bit confusing.

If I don’t use a cure Excelerator… Why do I have to wait 12 hours?

@@gooberdooberwunderb I gave the wait times for the added cure to work. It’s helping killing any nasties

Isn't adding those chemicals making the sticks less healthy?
