I have a question.
I am making venison bacon and needed a little more venison to make a 25# batch. A friend said he would give me a boned hind quarter....perfect. Well he ended up giving me 2 hind quarters. Well the bacon is on the smoker and I still have the 2nd hind and think I will make some pastrami with it.
I plan to do all the normal stuff to make it (corn, rub with pastrami spice and smoke) however I have never done this with venison.
The question: Should I corn the whole ham then tie the whole thing back together and them smoke? or should I take the ham apart, corn and smoke smaller pieces?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for your input,
Fritz
