    Any recipies for venison-pork burgers?

    I received a nice amount of venison for xmas and would like to mix it with pork (fat or meat and fat) to make burgers.  Does anyone have a recipe for this in terms of percentages of each to use (my guess would be 60 to 80% venison and 40 to 20% pork depending on whether pork meat and fat or just...

    Metal for grill surfaces

    Thanks for the replies.  Ive never felt comfortable with the coated grill surfaces as Ive seen them flake. As far as prepping goes is this correct; wash, wipe down, heat up, coat with oil and reheat?

    Metal for grill surfaces

    Ive seen what looks like regular expanded steel mesh for grill surfaces.  Is this what people are using, or is it solely stainless? Ive currently got coated steel grates, but would like to go to something uncoated  and was wondering what was being used. Thanks!

    Help! I want full ribs and no butcher understands what the heck Im talking about!

    Id like to do this with all types of ribs - beef, pork, and lamb  (I think Ive covered all the important food groups ) "Dino bones" is exactly it, but Im not sure too many butchers are familiar with the term. Ive had the same luck trying to get tomahawk cut ribeye steaks...  I think I might...

    Smoked Pork Belly Sandwich

    Thanks! The meat was uncured. roughly 2 to 3 lbs ( I had bought more than I could use for thanksgiving and decided to trim some off and smoke it the next day for fun).  If I remember correctly I started it between 300 and 350, for the first hour or so and then went into the upper 200s to finish...

    Smoked Pork Belly Sandwich

    This was done last week but I finally got around to uploading it. 4 hours - hickory and mesquite spices were from a premixed thing that a family member brought over They thought I was nuts for taking a picture of food...

    SImple rub for pork and beef

    Thanks - I just go with powdered.  Ive done granulated and it has worked well (especially when using a decent amount of sugar in sweeter pork recipes), but Ive tried to keep it as simple as possible. For garlic lovers the granulated is good to mix in, but the bigger pieces can be off-putting to...
