    So I was late for a meeting and then it started to downpour.  I franticaly grabbed things from the back of my truck and was putting them inside.  But then I saw a way to save a few moments by hiding my screw gun in a water proof place, my grill.  Perfect! the hood will keep it sheltered and...

    elk bacon lownslow style (pic. heavy)

    I have been loving the curleys venison/elk bacon. If you haven't tried it you really should, it is soooo tasty. Here is my take on it to make it look and taste more like regular bacon. I wasn't sure if it would work so I did a small test batch. It worked! Cut up 3 lbs elk into 1 inch cubes and...

    Tenderquick and pastrami question

    ok so I got the pastrami fever. I started to get it all going tonight and I noticed that most recipies use a lot (1/4 c) tenderquick. I had always assumed that TQ was just like the pink salt cure (insta cure #1). But now I see that it is not. So what is TQ and how do you think it will effect...

    Snack stick advice

    So I made some elk and pork sausage that was too dry. Used about 60%elk and 40% pork butt. I am thinking of stuffing into 19mm casings and smoking (with cure) into snack sticks. The question is - should I add more fat or does it just render out of the sticks anyway?

    Check out "Chuck eye steaks"

    My friend turned me on to these steaks and they are increadible. They are not well known because there are only 4 on a cow. They are also called Butchers steaks because butchers would often keep them because they aren't that big and aren't worth the trouble of labeling only 4 from an entire...
