2014 Last Sticks
« Reply #-1 on: December 31, 2014, 10:27:38 AM »
Last batch of sticks for 2014.

These are sweet Amish style, 5 lbs. You can use any mix for this, just add the amount of honey you like. AC Legg #116 is a good mix.

The sausage hanger racks really look top notch!  Are you liking the MES 40?

Well here is the sweet sticks done. Did a 5 hour cold smoke after they bloomed, should give a slight tang with the sweet.

After years of using a Bradley smoker the MES has a slight learning curve. I found that even with a 1200w element the MES runs about 10* cooler and the vent cant be full open, Chocked the vent to half and the heat ran pretty good. It was cold today with a high of 43 so that may have been a factor also. The window on the door i'm going to let get gunky, may add some insulation to it  :D

Into a paper bag with these and fridge for a couple days.

Looks great!  I've never tried the Legg 116 mix so I may have to order a bag or two to try.

The sweet sticks are done and ready for the Yankees.



Taste is real good, sweet with a slight pepper and tang.



Vac sealed and in the fridge.

Rick,
Sometime towards Spring, and Maureen has recovered from her knee surgery, we need to meet somewhere convenient.  I will have some more elk meat for you for some summer sausage.  Starting to plan another elk hunting trip towards the end of the year.  Will need room in the freezer.  We'll talk later.

Rick,

Did you just use honey, or honey and brown sugar?   I saw "elsewhere" you used 5 ounces of honey but did not know if you also added some brown sugar as in the past.  If you did, how much would you recommend as I want to try these as soon as the AC Legg 116 gets here.

Thanks

That paper bag in the fridge tip works really well for a controlled drying. One of the many tips I've picked up from you over the years! :)
