looks good,,,,, I tried my hand at some in my smoker and you right , it don't stand around long especially with some brews....might I ask what type of casing for the snack sticks or is that regular smoke sausage .

[papap]

I used the LEMs collagen casing. I think I'm going to order some sheep casing.

I use the collagen on anduille and smoke sausage and was gunna try the smaller one on snack sticks . on my regular fresh sausage I use the hog casing.

Looks great! What kind of wood do you use to smoke?

[papap]

I just think the natural casing is more tender. I pretty much use hickory all the time. I do use apple when I smoke some ribs.

i peel the casing off my smoke sausage and anduille . i use a masterbuilt electric smoker and i only use about a 1/4 cup of chips every hour for three hours ... hickory or jack daniels . any more and it comes out bitter......
