    Just did my 3 o clock apple juice>double cover in a tray, went to use my quick read digital thermometer, batteries dead lol.  No reason I should be too off on temps if I am following the write up to the T.  I have a Fork style digital temp for the grill that I will try in a little bit.

    45lbs of ground venison..what to do?

    Put three or four deer in the freezer this year, tons of backstraps/tenderloins/roasts/ and more than enough ground venison. I have never done sausages/jerky/etc before..I would say that besides our typical hamburger helper/venison tacos/chilli recipe, I haven't really ventured much further...

    Brining Venison?

    just got an MES 40 from the in laws yesterday... did you "smoke" the whole time? Or did you put enough wood chips in to smoke for say 1-2 hours then the remainder just smoke free at low temp?

    250$ budget for Christmas, which noobie elect smoker?

    250$ budget on an electric smoker.  Work long shifts so dont have time to check every 1-2 hours chips etc.  Reviews and "top 10's" are all over the map. Would love to smoke game, venison/goose/duck/ribs/chicken anything really.
