It looks like they turned out great, Jim!
Nice call on the chubs. I'm going to try making one next time.
I just got off the phone with Chris... I asked him about the mix being pretty wet and he said when he made it his was wet too and he said they turn out great.
Very interesting. Before I brined the pork like I would ham then ground it up and it also turned out very, very wet. That's what lead me to try a different approach and start with ground pork. I'm getting ready to post the pics of the finished sticks.
