Because these sticks have some pork in them (from the added fat), it is necessary to cook them until the internal temperature of the stick is 163 to 165 degrees. Any less and you run a risk of contracting trichinosis. When the sticks are done, remove them from the smoker and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Can you make venison snack sticks in a dehydrator?

The snack sticks need to stay in the dehydrator until the internal temperature is at least 155 degrees Fahrenheit. At that point they are cooked, and the real drying begins. For them to reach the texture of a snack stick instead of a sausage, they really need to be left in for a long time.

How is deer meat?

Venison may be eaten as steaks, tenderloin, roasts, sausages, jerky, and minced meat. It has a flavor reminiscent of beef but is richer and can have a gamey note. Cuts of venison tend to have a finer texture and be leaner than comparable cuts of beef. However, like beef, leaner cuts can be tougher as well.

How can you tell if deer meat is bad?

Examine the color of the meat after it has thawed. Deer meat should be brownish-dark red in color. If there is any metallic-looking hue or the color leans more toward a dark green, dark brown or black tint, the deer meat has probably gone bad. The meat should be brownish-dark red.

Do you have to refrigerate pepperoni sticks?

Pepperoni technically doesn't require refrigeration, it retains freshness for longer when you keep it in the refrigerator. Once you open the package, just like with pepperoni sticks, you want to keep the leftovers from drying out. So if you can reseal the original packaging, leave the slices in it and do it.

Can you use jerky seasoning for snack sticks?

@retired-railroader Yes, you can absolutely use Jerky Seasoning to make Snack Sticks and vice versa, many people do this! If you use a seasoning that is made for snack sticks, summer sausage or brats it might give a slightly stronger taste in jerky so if you want to back it off a little that's fine.

What temperature do you cook venison snack sticks?

I start out low, around 145 to 150 degrees for an hour, then turn the temperature up to 170 degrees and continue to cook until the snack sticks reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Cook the links in a smoker or the oven. Submerge the links in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
