    Added a new one

    I have been wanting to add some capacity to my sausage making lineup. My MES was big enough to get small batches of sausage and snack sticks made in a day, but doing larger batches required all day, and some times even into the next day if it was a larger batch. So yes, I added a new smoker to...

    Pig shots

    With being cooped up int the house this weekend with the whole safer at home order in effect here in Wisconsin, and the fact the weather was not very nice for too much outside with over an inch of rain, I decided to make some pig shots, or pork shots, whichever you prefer to call them. This is...

    Cured pork loin, venison, and brined turkey

    Cured a pork loin and some venison roasts the last couple weeks, and fired the smoker yesterday. Been making the dried venison for a few years now, and it’s always excellent. Been wanting to do the same to a pork loin to make some Canadian bacon for some time now. Finally got it done, and it...

    Cleaning out the freezer

    With the 2019 Wisconsin deer bow season starting a week ago, I decided to clean out my freezer of any left over venison roasts in hopes I get out and shoot myself some fresh stuff to fill it’s place. I was not successful last year, so the freezer was kinda bare. No steaks, no snack sticks, and...

    My MES died.

    Last weekend, the last one prior to Labor Day weekend, I was all set to smoke some wild hog ribs from my GA wild pig I shot this past March. I took the whole rack, along with a pack of store bought ribs out of the freezer earlier in the week, and Sunday late morning got them all rubbed down and...

    Pork Shots

    I have seen these mentioned several times throughout the forums. Quite regularly, they are mentioned as an appetizer for big events. I thought they looked good, so I thought I’d try em. Here’s a couple pics of my try. A few were pepper jack, a few cheddar, and a few with cream cheese. The...

    Wild Hog

    Hey all, For those of you that know me through my posts, I’m an avid deer hunter and spend a lot of time using my smoker to make my own venison products. You may have also seen my posts about other things I’ve smoked, too. Especially my pulled pork. Well, this last week, I spent on vacation...

    Finally finished

    I know this is a little different type of thread, but wanted to share. As some of you are aware, due to my posts, I hunt whitetail deer, and make my own smoked products from them. Well, in 2016, during the WI gun deer hunt, I was successful in harvesting two animals. A nice adult doe and my...

    Any more AGR's

    OK gang. I had the pleasure back in college to get to join a fraternity. Now, this in itself is no big news, but as luck would have it, thanks to a pic I added to one of my posts with the chapter crest on it, one of my chapter brothers found me here on SMF. Our conversation earlier got me...

    Beef Jerky

    Hey all, My sister in law got me a hi mountain jerky variety pack for Christmas this year, and since we have an abundance of ground beef in the freezer (thanks to a great buy at our local county fair), I thought I’d try a couple flavors out. This and the fact my new jerky mats for the mes 40...

    Something a little different

    i know most of us on this forum have more hobbies other than making great smoked foods. I personally have a couple others as well. One such, is fairly new to me. Making hard cider. Earlier this fall, a buddy of mine asked me my thoughts and experience making hard cider. My response? I like...

    Venison snack sticks

    Every year for several now, I have been the go to guy in my family for making all of our families goodies with the trimmings from our yearly venison harvest. Well this year wasn’t too good for me personally, but as a group, we did come away with some meat. The first batch of sausage has been...

    Pulled pork and New York strip

    Hey all, Been a couple months since I’ve been on here. Kinda liking the new layout. And really missed the forums, but work, and life have gotten in the way over the past several months. Wanted to share this at the time I made it, but finally getting around to it. As I have a son who is a...

    Dried venison

    With the family all being relatively successful during this past falls deer hunting season, I was given the task of making some of the goodies that we have been having made by local processors. Using Bearcarver's step-by-step process, I started a batch of venison roasts to make dried venison...

    Brined venison roast

    Earlier last week I needed to get started with the cure process for some venison dried beef (another thread I will post as I finish it up). Well I pulled a couple extra roasts out as long as I was at it. These I had initially planned to add to the cure, but with most of 25 pounds curing these...

    Finally, winter is over

    It has been a long winter here in Wisconsin. December and January were perpetual crappy weather. February was either crappy or unseasonably warm, no in between. Never had an opportunity to fire up the smoker and get rid of the winter blahs, until today finally. So for the past few years, at...

    Fresh Asparagus

    As I have been reading through a pile different posts this evening, I've noticed an awful lot of q-view with sides of asparagus. This time of year, to me, is an odd time of year for this veggie. Maybe it's because here in central Wisconsin, primarily the "central sands" of the state, asparagus...

    Venison snack sticks

    Success during hunting season for the family has afforded the opportunity to let me play with the smoker. This time around was a batch of venison snack sticks. Started by grinding and mixing 50/50 with high fat pork. Reground the mix using the course plate for both grinds, and added...

    Venison summer sausage

    With the Wisconsin gun deer season past and meat in the freezer, it's time to start the process of turning the venison into those goodies. After spending a small fortune year after year having sausage and other things made commercially, I decided last year to start spending some of that money...
