    Deer Snack Sticks

    You might still break the caps as the auger turns the meat. Plus any grinder Iv'e seen, need a plate to hold the shaft of the auger.

    drying wood

    My neighbor and me just cut up a bunch of cherry wood. It was about 14 inches in diameter, so we layed down a big tarp and cut the logs into 2-inch thick disks. It dries fast this way, and we swept up all the sawdust off the tarp and put it into big plastic bins and stirred it around for a few...

    It's a good thing we ain't grilling!!

    If hot peppers kill cancer cells, my ass is safe; I eat hot peppers all the time. Life is too short to worry about B.S. reports that usually come from tree hugging, anti hunting, second amendment attacking fruitcakes. Hopefully those generalizations didn't offend anyone.

    Smoking Turkey

    Well I like to inject my turkeys before I rub them down and place them in the smoker. The way I do it is I make an injection, using brown sugar, butter, Cajun seasoning, old bay, garlic and onion powder and whatever else catches my eye in the spice rack. I then inject the turkey with the mix...

    smoked eggs

    All I use for pickling the eggs is white vinegar, pickling spice, black peppercorns, whole garlic cloves, onions, habanero and cayenne peppers. I heat the vinegar and pickling spice in a pot, I cold smoke the eggs for 40 to 50 minutes then add them to the jars, add the vinegar along with some of...

    I was talking about ground hogs at work and my cube neighboor told me that porcupines are even better. Man my wife is going to think I went damn insane when I start rounding up the local night critters for the next cookout.

    pork and chicken

    Hey Bill, your problem with the pork and chicken getting tough on the edges was probably a result of the temp getting a little too hot. what type of smoker are you using? Pork and chicken can dry out pretty fast if you don't get a good rub on the meat. Getting the rub to carmalize at lower temps...
