    Wasp spray in smoker... thanks honey! :(

    Heck, I just want to congratulate you. My 11 year old daughter would have seen the wasps, screamed at the top of her lungs and ran to my wife, who then would have decided that they are surrendering the back yard to the wasps and are staying inside until I got home..

    corn cob smoked bacon. Pioneer style.

    Yeah, the more I read it the less I think I understand it.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the recipe actually just suggesting smoking the container with the corn cob smoke and then using it to store the bacon in? The verbage is really throwing me off here. I was assumming it would translate...

    Venison first timer.. Help.

    Oh yeah, guess I left out the most important detail..lol The taste was excellent. Very tender and moist. My dad loved it and my wife even was willing to eat a little and she is a little squemish when it comes to game meats.. I think I might have put a little too much salt in as the only...

    Venison first timer.. Help.

    Thanks fr the help guys.. I was all ready to try this recipe I found, but didn't see anything about bacon in it.. Now I'm worried as I agree Bacon would be a must.. So is this recipe worthless or does it sound good with bacon added? Ingredients: 5-6 pound venison roast 1 cup salt 1 cup sugar 5...

    Venison first timer.. Help.

    So I've never hunted or ever smoked any sort of wild game. My father however hunts all the time. He knows I've got my new smoker and wants me to smoke some of his venison.. He said he is bringing me over some ground venison and a 4 pound roast.. I've done some searching and read a few qviews...

    garlic fries!

    From your location, I'm guessing you went to At&T ballpark and had the gilroy garlic fries? I went last summer and they were amazing! I plan to make some soon.

    How long will frozen meat keep?

    Honestly hadn't even thought about it.. I would proably clear wrap the bigger pieces in their butching paper and double ziplock smaller cuts.. Is vacum packing a must?
