    Cleaning the grates...

    I heard a story on here once about a guy who would take his cooking grates out and throw them on the lawn, in the morning they where clean as a whistle. He figured it was just the dew point and a little magic. Well it turns out he figured out after a while that the neighborhood dogs where...

    Hickory smoked deer heart

    That looks good! Yes a neck shot is crucial if you wanna eat the heart. Unfortunately I have the gout, so organ meat is off the menu, sucks!

    Pellet Smoker + Water Pan

    The reason for a water pan in smokers such as gas or charcoal is to act as a heat sync.It really has no benefit when making barbeque, other than to maintain temperature within the smoker. It does not add moisture or flavor to the meat. Spritzing is used to help build bark by helping the rub...

    How long can I keep geese

    You should be just fine. I let my geese hang a couple days before I do anything with them. Just like I would hang a deer or elk. Considering how fresh the meat is I would guess you could keep it around for a week plus. Think about how long beef takes to get from the slaughter house to your plate.

    Goose brats

    Nice job! Wondering how the bacon worked for you? I always cut my goose with pork shoulder roast 50/50 and it turns out nice. I sure am nervous about grinding those BB steel pellets, ruined 2 grinders so far....but totally worth it!

    Is it possible to cook pork ribs and a butt at the same time?

    I would run my smoker at 220-250. Start the butt early in the morning, estimate cook time based on your butts weight. If it where me I would give myself 15 hours (but 12 would probably do it). 6 hours before estimated butt finish time start your 3-2-1 ribs. If your butt gets done early, no...
