Process: Debone pork shoulder/butt, 50% beef and 50% Pork used grind meat I like to use is 10mm (3/8) grinding plate . When grinding, it’s important that the meat is chilled. Add spices use ice cold water when mixing). when you’re done mixing the meat it should feel tacky very sticky and should stay on your hands at this point, Check your meat temperature at all times and in between grinds or mixing.i like to have the temperature around -1–2c or 30-36F.At this point I fill the stuffer and begin to stuff the casings.( Casings used 21mm Mahogany collagen casings). Make full links and refrigerate over night or use a cure accelerator and start smoking same day.
for smoking set smoker to 110-120f and let snack sticks air dry for an hour. increase temp to 120-130f and apply smoke. every hour increase temperature 10 degrees until 160f. smoke 2-5 hours your choice.after remove smoke and increase temperature to 180f and cook until internal temperature reaches 160f. give it an ice bath and store in a cool place to bloom over night. cut lengths to size and freeze and then vacuum seal for when you want to have them
Hope you enjoyed watching.
Equipment used was a 1.5hp LEM Big Bite (#32) meat grinder, 10mm grinding plate 4.5mm grinding plate ,15 lbs vertical sausage stuffer , vacuum sealer,
