    Pheasant-First Time Failure

    I recently purchased an electric smoker and am virgin to the smoking game. I've always had the pheasant I "harvest" smoked for me at a local butcher shop, but wanted to try my hand at it (along with other things). I attempted my first batch of 3, skinless breasts still on the keel. Results were...

    Smoked wild pheasant and goose

    I just got a Bradley original for Christmas and am going to smoke some wild pheasants and goose breasts later this week for the maiden voyage.  I have done a few pheasants on a Weber grill in the past and they turned out great.  I am eager to try the smoker and see if it simplifies the process. ...

    I have just got a bunch of pheasants

    Boned out the birds today, and have them soaking to draw the blood and to give me another day to make up my mind what to do. I have it seperated into thigh meat ( deboned) and breast meat with the tenderloin removed. I think I will cure the tenderloins and smoke them slow and cold. The thigh...

    No skin, it dried out

    I don't hink you can save the birds now, I have never smoked my pheasant but I do know that you want that skin on them to prevent this from happening.  If you do them again I might recommend wrapping in bacon, but like I said I have not smoked my birds before.  I would also brine them instead of...

    My Smoker is finally complete!

    This is my beast! Runs on propane. It used to be a 50,000 btu pork roaster and I capped off one of the burners leaving one remaining. The remamining burner I welded up 1/2 of the holes. It is now basically a 15,000 btu smoker. There is a grease tray on the bottow that I  slide open to check on...

    I recently installed a Jade Range Duck Cooker and I am attempting to use it as a smoker.  I have the gas hooked up and the smoker is heating properly.  My only concern is the actual smoke.  I have attempted to use soaked apple wood rolled up in tin foil.  I have place the foil boats directly...

    Smoked wild pheasant and goose

    Well, things went as I suspected with the weather.  Smoker preheated fine, but after putting meat in (it was a lot) the smoke would not get above 150.  I decided to smoke the meat for about 2 hrs and then transferred to the oven to finish to temp.  Everything turned out incredible.  My wife and...

    brinkman stock thermometer off by almost 100 degrees

    Aah, wild duck breast...yeah, that makes a huge difference. They don't get to just wander around a couple hundered feet a day to get their meals. They gotta work for it, so they'll be lean & mean. Probably a fairly small piece of meat to stick a thermo-probe into, but it sure would be worth a...

    Marking Smoked Items for Identification?

    Kind sirs, I was thinking about having an all-fowl/gamebird smokedown, but it occurred to me that, when the smoke clears, I might not be able to tell the pheasant from the duck from the etc. Any ideas how I can mark everything so's I can tell what's what? Thanks, Derek

    No skin, it dried out

    Forget trying to pluck phez, it is miserable....especially if you shoot 12 a day like we typically do. I normally skin and spatchcock the birds so I can get to the bar after a long day of hunting....I clean all the birds and my buds buy my beer for the night. If you haven't cleaned your birds...

    Smoked Pheasant Qview

    A friend of mine from Minnesota stopped by earlier and dropped of a couple of pheasants for me. Since the smoker was already on for the moose (meat) loaf, I thought...."Why Not?" So I injected both birds and then brined them for 4 hours in a vacuum sealed container. Smoked them for 3 hours at...

    Smoking Duck Breast

    I have a general garlic rub that I put on the birds after I brush on some butter. But before you do that, make sure you ***** the skin all over so the excess fat can drain off. Ducks, geese and pheasant all have a layer of fat there to keep them warm and if it doesn't drain out, it will be a...

    Smoked Pheasant Qview

    ...It really tenderizes them. I've never had pheasant legs smoked then crock potted, it definitely adds another element. Rivet, I can't say if the brine helped or not since this is the only smoked pheasant I've had. I've always just baked, grilled, or fried it. How do you usually smoke pheasant?

    Bear Meat for the Bear ??? (could be offensive pictures to anti-hunters)

    Yeah I know, but I don't want to offend somebody. if it may bother them to look at the pics. I gave my warning. The PA State Game Commission cuts many food plots for our 4 legged friends. In many heavily Bear populated areas they pay farmers to leave the corn stand for the Bears to go in &...
