LEM Backwoods Snack Stick Seasoning Kit

The LEM Backwoods snack stick seasoning kit includes the cure packet that makes shelf-stable snack sticks possible: sodium nitrite in the right concentration to inhibit pathogenic bacteria while creating the pink color and cured flavor. The seasoning profile is traditional snack-stick Italian sausage — fennel, black pepper, garlic — that pairs venison, elk, or pork into something that tastes like actual processed charcuterie instead of flavored meat paste.

LEM Seasoning for DIY Venison Snack Stick Production

One kit seasons about 5 pounds of ground game meat, which produces roughly 3 to 4 pounds of finished snack sticks depending on stuffing density and smoke loss. The inclusion of cure salts means you're not buying from multiple suppliers — everything needed for a successful batch is in one package. The seasoning is balanced enough not to overpower venison but strong enough to carry through the smoking and drying process.

• Includes cure packet for shelf stability and pink color

For hunters processing their own game, this kit is the path from loose ground meat to finished charcuterie.
