These beef sticks were a hit with everyone in our house! The Sweet Heat BBQ flavor has just the right amount of kick…enough to make them interesting without being too spicy for kids or anyone sensitive to heat.
One thing I really appreciated was that they weren’t greasy like some meat sticks can be. They’re easy to toss in a lunchbox, keep in the car, or grab on the way out the door for a quick protein-packed snack.
I have always been a big fan of meat sticks and this is no exception. This has that sweet and spicy flavor that keeps me drooling. It is a perfect little stick you can pack in your pocket or bag and just enjoy on the run when you are hungry but not ready for a full meal. I dont have to go hangry and my friends and family dont have to deal with my childish behavior when I get hungry. I love it, they love it, its a win win.
Store owner replied:
Mitchell! Thank you so much for the compliments and kind words! Good choice on the Sweet Heat BBQ, thats my fav (at least this month). We really appreciate your support and being our customer. Happy Holidays too you!
Sweet Heat BBQ is our go-to snack on the golf course.
I buy these Sweet Heat BBQ for my Grandson Elijah, his favorite. His birthday is July 30th and he'll be 14. He's going to be thrilled to receive these. I gave him a few when they arrived, but he has no clue that I have more. Thank you for having such good products 😋😋
Dustin & Ryan, I have been a very satisfied customer for over 6 months now. Everyone in my family loves your beef sticks. I continue to order them and in return they enjoy them. The attached photo is what my 13 year old Grandson will be getting for Christmas...his eyes will definitely light up🌲☃️🎍🌲⛄🎍Thanks again ,

These are the best meat sticks I’ve had. All the other sticks get the casing wrong, it’s always too tough and chewy. Not the case with these, the casing is perfect. Easy to eat, and the meat stick flavor is perfect. I’ve tried all the flavors and like this one the most, but these guys got all the flavors absolutely perfect. Well done, FireCreek Snacks!
These meat sticks hit all the right things for me. The texture is good without being too soft or too chewy. It doesn’t have a hard snap like some brands but also holds it’s own. I got the sweet heat bbq and I get the sweet heat for sure, but not the bbq so much. Still, that’s good with me because they’re so yummy!
These beef sticks hit the sweet spot for my taste. I’m always a fan of sweet and spicy flavor. The flavor was right on spot for that. The sweetness is just subtle, not too much and the heat comes in the after taste which adds extra flavor. The beef stick is not very dry and easy to bite off.
Each stick is vacuum sealed and individually packed. It’s pretty easy to open and good portion.
Great party, travel snacks. Definitely recommend
These are very tasty, and the heat is just right, too. The hickory is a perfectly sweet taste and then that subtle heat kicks in to make for a very fulfilling bite. The entire beef stick is surprisingly filling, and there’s not a bunch of junk in the beef to worry about.
I’ve never heard of this brand before but doing research before going in got me excited to try it! All natural ingredients with minimal processing, low sugar, and extremely tasty, tastes like honey BBQ! Convenient pouch and packaging, great little high protein snack on the go! Cost is right and I Love this!
When I hear “sweet heat”, I worry it will be slathered in sugar and/or, so hot you feel it in your intestines the next day. It’s neither. The sweetness is subtle. I barely notice it. It’s got some heat to it, but it’s a quick burn, not something that requires chugging a bottle of water after. You feel it while you are eating it and it goes away pretty quickly.
Tastes exactly like I’d hope a sweet heat pork and beef stick should taste. Pork taste and beef taste are both there. Better than the similar sticks I see at my local grocery store. Almost exactly the same price as those. Perfect for a snack in the afternoon. Medium soft texture but a good snap from the casing makes them pleasant to eat. The twenty pack was well sealed and each stick was issue free. All were devoured and enjoyed. For the value they’re as good as I hoped they’d be and I can recommend them.
These Fire Creek sweet heat BBQ beef and pork jerky sticks are quite good. Flavorful for sure, and probably a medium level of heat on a scale of low, medium, and high. It doesn’t hit you at first, but gradually it builds. It was about right for me with just one piece of jerky. Included in the box are twenty beef and pork sticks with 7g of protein in each piece.
And finally, much to my pleasure this Fire Creek jerky is Made in the USA. I love getting behind a Made in the USA product, and this is one with quality. I think it is a step above what you usually get in a store, and I recommend anyone interested in a slightly elevated idea of jerky with heat, to give this a try. You might be surprised and pleased, just as I was.
Sweet Heat is the name but the heat is very mild for those sensitive to spices it is just right. it has a nice texture, a great snap when you bite it and a satisfying taste that is enjoyable. Great snack to take on a hike or trip. These are not like slim jims, more like a cured beef stick with much more beef and better taste than a slim jim. We definitely enjoyed them, thank you Firecreek!
As with all of the Fire Creek jerky sticks that we have tried, these are terrific. These have just enough spice to make them good but not so much to where your mouth is burning. They make a great snack and are not greasy like other brands, we will always have some around!
I tried this flavor at an event over the weekend and was genuinely impressed. As someone who works in the health space and prioritizes a high-protein diet, I’ve tried my fair share of meat sticks, but this one stands out. Incredible flavor. 10/10 recommend.
Took the sweet heat and teriyaki sticks on a multi-day camping/hiking trip. Was a great snack that helped maintain good energy throughout the trip. Really enjoyed them!
Sweet heat is where it’s at! These are so good and have a great nutrition profile. I prefer these over Chomps! Recently took a road trip to Bend and these bad boys got me through. Thanks, FireCreek!!
