    Freezing Venison Bone in

    I vacuum seal & freeze & never had a problem either. Kept meat over a year. I do wrap the exposed bone with a ball of plastic wrap or brown paper to keep it from puncturing the vacuum bag.

    Finally taking the plunge...

    Looks great! Glad it came out OK. Sometimes the aluminum trays can affect the flavor. Not sure if it could be harmful. Also be sure not to use iodized salt,I made that mistake once. Wasn't wearing my readers when I grabbed the container & it really tasted foul!

    Finally taking the plunge...

    If the taste is off it may be because of the foil pan! Always use a plastic or glass  (non reactive ) pan to cure or brine!

    Salt Water Fillets

    For best results I recommend you fry or broil all those small thin lean white fish fillets & pick up a nice thick fatty salmon, or steelhead fillet or whole whiting,whitefish or eel for the smoker.

    Bonig/Fillet Knife of choice?

    I like these for filleting or boning. Cheap,hold an edge & sharpen quickly. All I use to butcher & bone a complete deer. http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/dexter-russell/p94817/p1454262.aspx

    Advice needed for venison shoulder

    I think a shoulder is much better for a braise. The only venison I smoke are roasts cured & smoked like Canadian bacon or dried beef. See Bear's step by steps !

    Maverick 732 Signal

    If you still have problems after changing the batteries put the receiver right outside by the transmitter, 5 feet or so away. If it doesn't loose the signal then something in your home is probably interfering with it. Too many walls or something else electrical , fan,microwave etc. Similar to...

    Maverick Probe Cleaning

    I wipe the probe with an alcohol swab available from the drug store. Cleans it right down to the shine. A light wipe of the cable with the same swab, I don't worry about it too much. I would rather a little varnish build up then pulling it loose from the probe since it doesn't come in contact...

    You don't have to hang deer to age!

    I'm no youngster myself, & the last thing I wanted was to lose a deer to a hot day after busting my butt to get it home. Wiring was very easy, I cut a short heavy duty extension cord in half & put the control between. You can set the on off diff. to any spread within 10 degrees if memory serves...

    You don't have to hang deer to age!

    It will age just fine on it's back if necessary! For all you early season deer hunters if you have an old chest or stand up freezer & you get one of these         (              )  you will turn your old freezer into a very roomy refrigerator. I have been using on myself for several seasons in...

    Twice smoked ham

    I too have found that when I cook a supermarket style ham that I freeze & store it tastes salty compared to a ham of the same brand never frozen before cooking. I think the curing salts in the ham become more concentrated when the ham looses some of the water added while it defrosts.

    Bear meat

    I've had it, not bad but greasy. Since you can't eat it rare I made stew & pot roasts from whole muscle, meatloaf, meat balls, & sausage from ground.
