    Buckboard Bacon Question

    I've had excellent results with Hi Mountain BBB cure, too.  I agree with Red Dog's techniques.

    Venison Ham rubbed with rendered lard.

    That looks and sounds awesome!  I've been thinking about trying one of these myself.  I've got 4 weekends left to get a deer with my bow.  I have some Maple Ham & Bacon Cure that I bought from sausagemaker.com.  It made some awesome buckboard bacon from a pork roast.  I was thinking about using...

    Oak or pecan--which is better for smoking meat?
