WILD GAME SUMMER SAUSAGE RECIPE | MEATEATER COOK
There are three main reasons I love summer sausage. First, it’s virtually indestructible. You can bring it along on backpack hunts and camping trips without having to worry about it going bad or getting crushed inside your backpack or cooler. Second, I love it because it’s flavored heavily enough to...

Steps:
- While keeping everything ice cold (see methods for fresh sausage), combine the game meat, pork fat, and all of the other ingredients except for the Fermento, water, and casings in a large bowl.
- Mix to combine with your hands. Work in small batches if you need to, and don’t be afraid to throw the meat back in the fridge or freezer, or into a cooler with ice, to get chilled again.
- Using the 1/4-inch plate on your grinder, grind the meat mixture into the bowl set over ice.
- Change out the grinder plate to the 3/16-inch plate and pass the mixture through the grinder again.
- Meanwhile, dissolve the Fermento in the water and stir with a spoon.
- Add to the ground meat mixture and again mix with your hands, or throw the meat mixture in the bowl of a standing mixer and mix on low, until it’s all incorporated.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the meat, making sure there are no air bubbles. Then wrap the bowl with a second layer of plastic wrap and set it in the fridge for 2 days to ferment.
- Make a little test patty and cook it up in a sauté pan to be sure you got the seasonings right. Adjust them if you didn’t. Then, using a sausage stuffer, stuff the sausage into the casings.
- Let the stuffed casings rest in the fridge to dry out for 1-2 hours.
- While the stuffed sausages are resting, soak a panful of applewood chips for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the smoker to 112°-130°.
- Set the pan of chips in the smoker. Lay or hang the sausages in the smoker.
- Smoke for about 60 minutes at this temperature, then raise the temperature to 180°.
- Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 150°, which will probably take 2-3 hours, depending on your particular smoker and the ambient temperature.
- Keep refilling the pan of apple wood chips as they get low.
- When the sausages are done, let them hang at room temperature for 1 hour to cool, then wrap well and refrigerate. They can be frozen for several months.
SNACK STICKS 101: HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE VENISON OR BEEF ...
Snack sticks, beef sticks, slim jims, whatever you want to call them, these on-the-go meat treats are a staple in sausage making. A cousin of jerky, this semi-dry sausage is thinner in diameter and can be made from pork, beef, venison or other combinations of wild game.

Steps:
- Cut meat into 2” pieces and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while you set up the meat grinder.
- Set the grinder up with a 3/8” plate.
- Grind meat once through the 3/8” plate. Alternate between pork and venison every 8 oz or so to start the mixing process.
- Place the ground meat in the fridge while you reset the grinder with a 3/16” plate.
- Mix in Honey BBQ seasoning, cure and encapsulated citric acid to the meat block. Mix for 6-10 minutes until protein extraction has started. The meat should be very tacky and stick to your hands.
- Mix in the high temp cheddar cheese until just combined.
- Set up your stuffer with a ½” horn and crank down until the meat fills the horn.
- Load the casings onto the horn and fill the casings.
- Lay the cased sausage on sheet trays and place in the fridge over night to allow the cure to work and for the flavors to marry.
- The following day, preheat your smoker to 120 degrees.
- Hang the snack sticks, no longer than 4’, on smoke sticks and place in the smoker. Increase heat to 130 degrees and follow this smoke schedule:
- 1 hour – smoke on
- Increase heat to 150 degrees
- 1 hour – smoke on
- Increase heat to 170 degrees
- Remove sawdust and cook until internal temperature of the snack sticks reach 155 degrees.
- Remove the snack sticks from the smoker and allow to hang at room temperature for 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature drops to 110 degrees.
- Then place the snack sticks in the fridge to cool completely down below 40 degrees. Enjoy!
