I made a batch of snack sticks about a month ago. I ran out of casings so I froze a ziploc freezer bag full of mixed venison and pork fat. My question is two fold. First, do you guys think when thawed the meat would still be ok to stuff and smoke? Second, the first batch tasted "porky". there was a strong pork flavor and not too much flavor from the spice mix. I used a kit so I am out of the flavoring mix, what can I add to give it some more kick? And I lied I have one more question, can I use my jerky shooter and do these without casings in the dehydrator or smoker? Thanks boys!

The frozen meat should be fine. Maybe a little mushy compared to fresh, but fine.
Sausage (and jerky) requires a heck of a lot more spice than you think. Since you don't have any mix left, just put in some black pepper, garlic powder, etc... When you think you put enough, add some more.

Kick is a relative term. Since i was a kid these two brothers have been trying to top each other in growing hotter peppers. I have had quite a few "suprise" chili's but i have quite a tolerance now.
Think Gregory Mendel but quite a bit more redneck.
If i cook for Nikki's family and extra shake of black pepper could send them over the edge.
Add some habanero its good for you
