I've been looking for a good snack stick recipe for a long time. In getting close. Our family sausage was traditionally dried for many years. It was stuffed and hung in a cool cellar or porch. When it dried, it had an incredible almost pepperoni flavor. I have no place I can dry it here, so I got the idea of making snack sticks with it then throwing it in the smoker. It was great.
Last night I put in a 20 pound batch. Unknown to me, My smoke generator went out. That really made them shine.  They taste great. Just a kiss of smoke. They were in for almost 16 hours at temps from 130-160. My controller shut off when internal temp hit 152 degrees. Getting close.

Very nice-looking bird.

Donna decided she wants country ribs and beans from the smoker for New Year's dinner.
I will oblige her request.
I will grill up some prawns wrapped in bacon and slathered in bbq sauce for a delicious appetizer.
Maybe even grill some veggies to go with things.
Corn on the cob!!!

And ice-cold beers!!!
Lots of ice-cold beers.

I got the country ribs and beans on the smoker.  Will have a toss salad with them too.  We also picked up a small pkg of lobster cakes from this really cool market we like.  They make them there fresh and we have had them in the past along with their crab cakes.  These will be for later tonight with the champagne.  I’m sure we won’t last till the ball drop, at least Donna won’t.

Almost finished.
Looking good.

The beans, as always, were awesome!  The ribs were good, but a tad salty.  Not bad, but next time more brown sugar in the rub to cut it a little bit.
