I tried 1/2 recipe's of both Bearded Butcher Cajun Flavor Snack Sticks and Bearded Butcher Original Flavor Snack Sticks for the first time. I followed the recipes using venison and pork fat. I used HT Cheddar with Original and HT Pepper Jack with the Cajun sticks. Aside from the venison and pork, all products came from Bearded Butchers DIY kits. The directions were straight forward and easy to follow. The results were fantastic! The Cajun recipe has a mild kick to it that's very appealing to me but a 'little' spicy for 'some' family members. In future batches I'll omit the cheeses as I didn't think it added enough enhancement to the taste but the cheese gave my carnivore friends something to question when they looked at it. Additionally, my wife might be able to crank the stuffer easier without the cheese chunks passing through the small feed tube. All my family and friends that have tried them have all reached back into the bag for 2nds, 3rds and more; so, the recipes are real hit with everyone I've shared with. I will most certainly repeat the purchases. I'm anxiously awaiting deer season to try the summer sausage kit i also purchased!
Everything went fairly smooth. My biggest mistake was not ordering the correct size stuffing tube. You might want to order extra casings. I ended up putting quite a bit of water into the mix and added cheese. If it was exactly #25 it would probably have been fine.
Seasoning is really good but believe it needs a little more seasoning for 25 lbs. The last time I used it I added more granulated garlic and some cayenne pepper. But I think it just needs a little more in your seasoning packet.
I’m in the learning phase of buck sticks. I miss judged the amount of area for the smoking and dry time. That was my fault. Had to add a lot of water to get the meat through that small tube. Worked out great. Thank you.
We love it
