Amish Sweet & Hickory Sticks

[nepas]

Might be hooking up with Tim & Art this weekend. Making 2.5 lb batches of sticks for both flavors. Mix of 1.5 lbs 90/10 gb and 1 lb poke.

Amish sweet style are the kind you can get in Amish country Lancaster county PA.

Both are cured and mixed and ready for stuffing and smoke tomorrow.

The Amish style sounds good!!! I go to a  butcher shop just in IN that has Amish style fresh sausage and I get some patties, I just had one for lunch today. My oldest ancestor I can trace came from Lancaster Co. PA in 1740. Don

Don't forget NW PA and NE OH when discussing Amish foods.    Those sound great.

First the hickory. Stuffed into 18mm mahogany collagen casings.  Yup i been to the Amish communities in Ohio and IN.




My tray is perfect for sizing the length to fit in the 4 rack.



Sweet are in smoked 19mm collagen, hickory in back.



PID running 130 thru 170*

130 for 1.5 hours no smoke or water in the pan. At 140* i will start smoke and add broiling water to the pan.



More to follow.

Hickory sticks? Never heard such a thang.  You got some hickory sawdust mixed in there instead of NFDM?
