Got a small batch of slim jim type things in the smoker…I stuffed them in sheep casings which were a pain to use, they are smaller and thinner than the hog casings I typically use….The slim jims have been in the smoker overnight at a temp of 90* I am now going to give em a light smoking and raise the temp up to 165* they will be done when the internal temp is 145* after that it’s a couple of days of drying….

there you go again witt... pushing the limits of bbq. i'm cooking boring butts and brisket tonight. :cry:
I got a brisket in the freezer just screaming to be cooked and the leftovers to be made into chilli...
 
Slim Jims are done and are now cooling...they have good flavor...just not excatly like that of a slim jim....I need to play with the flavor profile some....I think I might do another batch tomarrrow...and give it a kick with some of the ground chipolte peppers.....and a few more seasonings.....
 
Must have got your power back on after the storm. I might have to look into an electro, those slim jims do look good.

Tried sheep casings once. Damn things kept bursting on me. And, I am told, I'm man of patient.
