  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1-1/2 Tbls. Crushed red pepper (I ran thru spice mill just a little to break up seeds)

  • 1 Cup water (mix hot sauce into water with sugar and salt)
  • 2 Tbls. Encapsulated citric acid (optional)

Put wet and dry ingredients on meat and mix well.

Just before stuffing mix in ECA.

Stuff into sheep casings or small stick size casings (17-19mm).

Smoke 1 1/2 – 2 hours at 150-160°F. Then bump temp up to 175°F till internal temperature measures 152°F. Continue until desired dryness or dehydrate further for Slim Jim like dryness. Stop at 152°F internal temperature for fresh snack stick style.
