Love the Christmas cacti
What was your wood pellets oak hickory or would apple work
what a beautiful Christmas Cactus on your counter. love you guys
So sad a blank shirt, 😂😂, I look forward to seeing the funny shirts.
Those look terrific. We have two bucks in the freezer. Maybe we will try this instead of just jerky! You guys look great too. Congrats on your success with Keto.
Hi Kevin and Sarah. We’ve had that same LEM meat gun for over 10 years. Here’s a tip that we’ve found helpful. Instead of just cramming the meat into the tube, take a minute to make “rolls” just slightly narrower than your tube but the same length. Kind of like you’re making a fat play dough snake. Load that into your tube. It’s a lot less messy, and eliminates a lot of the air pockets. Hope this helps. By the way, we don’t use casings at all, and instead of a smoker, we use our Excalibur. Works great.
What is an Excalibur?
@@susanlandon1832it’s a food dehydrator
@susanlandon1832 a dehydrator
New to this process. How does it work if you don’t use casings? Sorry I am uneducated. 🙂
My boyfriend (sadly, now deceased) loved to hunt all over the world. He had access to a ranch loaded with wild boar which played havoc on the horse ranch, so we had tons of wild boar meat. We had big sausage stuffing parties where Sam used his huge kitchen to grind the meat with bacon bits for fat. He had industrial size equipment which he got after burning out a couple smaller grinders. Spices of every kind were on his butcher block (2) island counter and big containers were filled with the meat so each person could make their own sausages. (I believe the tubs were the grey tubs used by restaurants to bus tables.). He bought casings from a butcher shop which were probably the hardest thing to work with, but we found that putting the end of the casing under slowly running water and allowing the water to work its way to the other end (some were at least 10 feet long) before attaching them to the stuffer and making sausage! The staffer was also industrial size; probably five times the size of yours and needed to be hand-cranked. Everyone loved our sausage making parties. We’d crank out two or three pigs (plus bacon bits) each time so there was plenty for everyone to take home and enjoy. Lots of work, but great fun!
Sarah's little facial reactions while you were stuffing the sausage into the caulk gun were priceless!
😂
I was noticing that too.
The Christmas Cactus on the counter by the sink is absolutely beautiful!
wow! Really interesting. Never heard of smoker sticks. Blessings from Arizona
Sarah - your Christmas cactus is BEAUTIFUL . . . . . . love your facial expressions while Kevin is sausage stuffing . . LOL . . . . . Blessings to both of you !!!!
I wish I was closer I would like to get a start of Young rabbits from you I love watching your videos thank you for putting the videos up may the Lord bless you
Your Christmas cactus is amazing! ❤
I was curious about that beautiful flower. Thanks for the name. Don't think we have those in the southern Caribbean.
Well after watching I’m Hungry! Thanks for sharing your passion. The wife and I really enjoy your channel.
so excited you guys are still on keto while homesteading!
Love this recipe. When are we going to see the pigs you are raising, rabbits, and the chickens.
Hey there, What a wonderful video Kevin , looks like a great recipe..
Your Christmas cactus is absolutely gorgeous.
Celery juice powder is a natural cure for meats. I use it when curing pork belly/bacon. Congrats on the deer.
Celery is naturally high in nitrates.
Along with cherry juice powder.
Looks delicious Kevin!
Sarah's cactus on the counter is beautiful. Meant to mention it b4
Good job on the 8 point. We are gonna try your recipe. Thanks Kevin
Wow. Very interesting. Never knew about smoker sticks. Enjoy> Blessings from Arizona
Your dear sticks look great
We watched your video as we were processing two does. We are brining 14lbs for pastrami, we make the meat sticks too and summer sausage. We really enjoyed the video.
Keto has been good to you guys. You both look wonderful. Congratulations on all your hard work.
They look delicious. But I’d love to see the new porch deck. 😁
Me too 😊😊
Love your beautiful Thanksgiving cactus .
Love your cooking videos. Thanks for sharing your method to make hot sticks!
Your Christmas Cactus is beautiful…I noticed it in Sarah’s last video! Kevin those look so yummy and not complicated to make. Both of you are excellent at step by step instructions.
Great harvest on the deer. Those snacks looks delicious. Love the Christmas cactus. Thank you kevin for sharing.
Can both do a funny challenge trying to catch chickens? lol 🤣❤
My son just got a 9 point buck this morning on our land with a bow 😅
OMG my mouth is watering!!
Beautiful cactus.
Good hunting! 🦌
Congrats on the deer!!! I love venison. My family used it as our sole source of red meat for almost 20 years.
When I was growing up my parents hunted north of the Grand Canyon every fall. They always brought home 1 & sometimes 2 deer. We processed them ourselves, everything possible went into roasts that could be soaked in brine. That removed the “wild taste” that people don’t like. No steaks or ground venison. Anything too small or scrappy for roasts was set aside and taken to a sausage maker who had his own special recipe. He added other meat along with his spices and made summer sausages out of it all. Those summer sausages went into the freezer and my dad had venison sandwiches in his lunch box every day as long as it lasted. When they ran out and Mother had to start using store bought lunch meat in his sandwiches that meant the countdown until deer season had begun. Living in the city and often only getting 1 deer meant the venison was a supplement to the meat from the store but we loved it. My mother loved to entertain so those nice little venison roasts usually were saved for company dinners. She had her own recipe for a “barbecue sauce” which made a great au jus over the meat, also over mashed or roasted potatoes. I still have the recipe even though I have no access to venison. My son now lives in Ohio and hopes to be able to start hunting. If he does I will pass the recipe on to my daughter in law.
Looks great, making me hungry. Thanks for sharing God Bless
Oh golly, those look so good.
meat sticks & jerky are the best!!
Good Morning! I will have to try this! We like to slice roast into thin strips then smoke it for our Jerky
Thank you Kevin.
These look amazing, yum.
Thanks, will definitely try your recipe 😊 they look so good!
God Bless!
Those jerky sticks look amazing. Love watching you cook, Kevin.
I thought the same thing but wasn't goanna say it. 🤣
kevin. they look great...
Reminded me of a song take this job and shove it. LOL
Perfect timing! We just processed 1st deer yesterday. Aaron had us leave out 2lbs for making jerkey. I think this is what we will do with it! Sarah, your christmas cactus is STUNNING!
🎉 Congratulations 🎊 That's a blessing Kevin. Thank you for sharing with us. 💐🩵🙏🇺🇲
Love you guys
Thank you for all your videos
I have that same jerky gun. and now I am going to order casings and make some jerky.
Great show!!
Thank you for sharing the video.
What a beautiful Thanksgiving cactus.Thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all.
I've got some ground beef from a local organic farmer, but don't care for the grind (texture). This would be a way to get it used up...once I find someone with a smoker...and assuming my Ninja blender can replace a food processor. Otherwise, I'll just make jerky, and try the beef sticks sometime in the future.
Looks great! Good job!
Wow opening another hunting date. Where I'm at they only take days away. We're looking heading in that direction.
Kevin, great video on the recipe, instructional and process in general. I have been inspired to definitely give this a try. I always enjoy your kitchen videos. Thank you and blessings to you both for the Channel and the content.
Thank you.
This is awesome! I didn't realize it was just this simple! Thanks!😊❤❤❤
Love this kind of content. My husband is out deer hunting right now, boy. I hope he gets one. We freeze our ground venison flat like you do, saves on time thawing out and more efficient way to stack in the freezer too.
Great video. Thanks for the information.
I freeze my meat flat and I use a pastry roller to save my hands from flattening it plus it seems quicker.
Great video!
After I got my smoker besides salmon, meat sticks were one of my firsts. Congratulations on your deer harvest!! The meat gun works great.
My son got a 14 point buck Saturday.
I had one of the old plastic style jerky guns for years. When it finally broke I bought one of the same aluminum guns you have. The only thing I didn't like was how thick the jerky tip is for the aluminum gun, so I just saved the plastic thin tip from the old gun and duct taped it to the end of my aluminum gun. Works great! It makes a huge difference. The aluminum tip made jerky that turned out more like kippered beef, thick and grainy. The thin tip makes perfect smooth thin jerky. People can't believe it's from ground meat. I enjoyed the video.
Those sausage sticks kind of look like homemade Slim Jims!! The recipe would also work great with ground pork!! In these perilous times hunting and fishing is strongly recommended!! The more wild game the better!!
Thanks for your respite I just finished my deer jerky I do have some ground deer I know what I will do with no great watch 👍👋🇨🇦
Looks great
My oldest son got a dear this year here in Ohio
I would love the meat sticks would be great
Interesting, we will be processing a couple of goats after the first of the year. So now and making some Goat Hot Sticks which we feel will be comparable to the Deer/Venison ones. Thank You for another great video!
Antlerless males are the best tasting deer.
If you give the inside of the jerky cannon a little squirt of cooking spray it will be alot easier to slide the meat in
Lord help me
Those snack sticks look delicious.
My family LOVES the jerky sticks. I'll have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Yummy 🤤❤
Oh no I haven't heard of anyone that don't eat that meat because to me that is the best meat . And to let you know LEM is a very good name braname company......
Im not a venison fan, even though Ive eaten it quite a few times. But, I AM a big fan of hunting and very well done bagging two deer! God bless you guys.
Wow Kevin, that is a nice buck congrats on your harvest
Fantastic job hunting, telling & showing us how to make meat sticks! They look delicious! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
Congrats on your hunting success. Love that you use everything.👍🏻😊
In a word .... yummmmmmmmmmmm! Take care Kevin & Sarah🦌🦌🏹🏹
A little note to the wise buy yourself some sausage tube for the stick gun as it aids in cleanup also when loading your gun make meatball size balls to load your gun as it lessons air pockets
What a great hunting season you've had Kevin, congratulations! I want to try making these for sure with ground beef. Also, I love your flowering cactus. It's just gorgeous! The red flowers are my favorite.
you might benefit buying a sausage stuffer.
Can you show us how you cut and part up the dear
So, in doing these meat sticks. In this case the process might change the next time for an antlered deer with the use of a buck hook? Luv ya guys.
Congratulations brother
We always make our own summer sausage and meat sticks but your method intrigued my husband so much, he stood here and watched the whole video! We’re going to try your method with the kitchen-aid.
Thank you for another great video of inspiration 🦌
Congrats on hunting success!
Thanks for sharing with us folks. Glad you got to put up some venison and sharing your JERKY recipe. Fred .
Good ☕️☕️ Morning Kevin & Sarah,I love venison.😋 Congratulations on your successful hunting Kevin.Have a great week.💕👍🏻
I bought my favorite Aunt a Christmas cactus many years ago. Seeing your beautiful Christmas cactus brought back a sweet memory.
Thank you Kevin & Sarah. Top video. Now I am hungry. God is good. Prayers. God Bless you all in Love. Lets go home soon ! Maranatha !
Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Tasty looking homemade meat snacks 😋 love it that you are able to emphasize that these types of treats that many of us like so much are able to be made at home and for the most part we get to know exactly what we are putting into our body. Thanks Kevin and Sarah, and May God continue to bless you in all that you are doing 🙏
Great vid enjoyed watching love meat snack sticks
@LivingTraditionsHomestead_. Whats up
notice the Christmas cacti , lt's a beauty. lots of hunters in my extended family, as well as in-laws and grans.
Great video! Wondering if you or Sarah would do some videos cooking venison. I've cooked some venison that tastes gamey. I've heard there are ways to marinate it, to address that issue. Love your videos!
Soaking in brine for several hours draws out the blood. That is where that gamey taste comes from. But you can’t soak ground meat or steaks. That was why we always cut everything possible into small roasts.
@ruthhilsdorf3210 what of brine?
@@Lisa_Osborne a friend of mine told me to soak it in whole milk overnight. Next day I cooked it up, without the milk..lol, and it was delicious. I got 2 bucks and I’m pretty sure I ate almost 2 of the 4 tenderloins while I was cooking them 😂. Lorie 😊
Tasty, enjoyed the video, thanks.
Love the beautiful cactus.
Congratulations! So happy for you with your hunting. Could you give us other preserving methods besides freezing. So glad to see the sticks.
