50 Lbs Of Venison

BGKYSmoker · May 13, 2012

A local friend of mine just dropped off 50 lbs of venison. Asked if i could make some sticks for him to take fishing. Would like 15 Black Forest and 15 Nacho/Jalapeno Pizza. Rest i get to keep (might not be much) but it will be ground.

Here is 25 lbs. Other 25 is in the freezer. Going to grind this week and get with it.

I weighed it. More like 22 3/4 lbs here. Prob less when i thaw and trim a tad.

50 lbs.!!!!! :icon_eek:
We rarely have more than a few pounds left over for sausage, we like venison so many other ways.

that's great. I pretty much know when I read the title of a thread that it's you that started it. This one threw me off just for a split second. Are these going to be your recipes or pre-mixed? If yours, any chance of sharing. I own the two books you usually reference so I can't wait to see the results of this one. I have 1 1/2 elks in my freezer from last year I'm still chewing on.

I gotta make it to a SMF meeting one of these days.

haha, Idaho has some great fly fishing, maybe we can trade! I have been very fortunate with three elk in three years.

Can't wait to see this thread with some more pics!!

Not started this yet.....Soon just got things to do 1st

BGKYSmoker · May 18, 2012

Getting ready for grinding. Here are some pics the way i do things.

Crisco your grinder knife and plates prior to grinding (you wont even know the small amount is in there)

Lets grind.

Cover and let the blood drain overnight. I will get the fat cut in tomorrow. This venison is pretty lean.

BGKYSmoker · May 19, 2012

Got 5 lbs with fat cut in mixed up.

My friend wants pizza/jalapeno/cheese sticks.

Mix 1 t cure 1 with some distilled water, mix well set aside.

Here i am going to mix the pizza, jalapeno and cheese together.

Put in a zip lock and mix well.

Here i added the cure 1 water with the dry mix into 1 cup distilled water.

Sorry i forgot to get pics of the pizza into the meat.

Here is 5 lbs of venison pizza, jalapeno, cheese mix ready to stuff/smoke tomorrow.

He also wanted 5 lbs of Black Forest style sticks.

Yeah i know it looks green (It wont be after smoking)

10 Lbs down.

Gettin a bath

Vent is located top left. Taken from an old MESPOJ

Bottom heating components. This slides in and out. Has the thermo couple, element, blower. Front face, temp knob from 60-280* fan on/off switch.

The fan is located under the lid in front of the element. It blows back to the slot in the back. The louvers located on the back wall of the smoker carry the hot air thru the cabinet.

(No the Traeger hopper is not for sale)
