Hey Ibfly
This has caught my interest. Sounds like something that would be a great surprise for the first night eats for my crew. I know this is going to sound kind of dopey but doesn't this stuff have to stay refrigerated? Zero experience with this sort of thing other than running down to the grocery store and throwin a few brats on the grill.

What you have suggested is it like a "summer sausage" or do you put the fire to them?  I wonder if they would they even ship something like that to Michigan? Anyway sounds like the real deal. Care to elaborate further? 

I bring Schmidt's german beer sausage, garlic sausage and landjaegers.
These are phenomena; - made in Nicollet, MN, USA (small town near New Ulm - big German area)

Like a few other posts here - it is a faily owned operation that;s been around for a very long time - high quality, amazing stuff. I bring several sticks with me on each trip. They keep well for days and days on the trail.

Heating anything cured with spices, releases oils in the spice, which gives you a boost in flavor.
  A little related tip. When pan sautéing/ meat/fish/poultry, instead of adding the spices afterward or sprinkling on while cooking, when you add the cooking oil to pan, sprinkle in the spices. Don't crank up the heat too high, the spices will get bitter, but at a sauté, the dry spice will release its oil, and give a more intense flavor than spice sprinkled in late in the cooking process

You mention a good point.  When heated a little, summer sausage and other sausage sticks taste even better...

Isanti Retail meats.

What's the name of the place?

prouboy

New meat store in Isanti MN! Jalepeno- cheddar beef sticks mmmmmm. Super hard,  hard salami will keep a couple of weeks in summer a month in spring. The best Pork chops I've ever had! It's carnivore heaven!

My boyz figured out this year that venison peppersticks heated infront of the Mr. Heater on our ice fishing excursions were tasty too, made the time go faster too....on those days with no hook ups....new lakes U know...

Last time I saw QD, he was grilling homemade Moose Brats on his deck grill. Nothing like some cold Canadians and wild game brats too give you that "up north" feel
Its little things like that and his homemade sauna, that make up for his occasional lapses in pick-up and delivery times.
