Venison snack sticks

My first attempt at deer snack sticks Laughing

.. I'm using Hi mountain cures ( original flavor ) snack stick kit.. Did up 2 pounds , filled the casings and put them in the fridge to cure . Tomorrow I will fire up my new smoker ( from cabelas ) and smoke them with hickory chips for 2-3 hours . I make a lot of jerky with Hi mountain cures and like it so hopefully these will turn out as good .. Any body else make the snack sticks ?

The finished product Very Happy

.. Between 2 and 2 1/2 hrs at 200 degrees they said to get the internal temp to 165 I took it to 170 and smoked with hickory for about half the time. There not that bad Very Happy

the next batch I think i'll smoke with apple wood and compare them.

Those look good!!
What kind of casing are you using? Natural or artificial, was wondering if the smoke penetrated the casing very well.
