    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    My experience with wild hog, at least down here, is that they have it pretty hard and they are very lean.  I've only seen a few exceptions to this and always with a sow.  They are going to be pretty dry.  I just cooked a whole pig, a 50 pounder I killed recently.  It was very lean, but I...

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    I love hunting hogs...some mistakes I've made smoking wild boar.  The main one being cooking to long trying to tenderize it.  Like eating styrofoam it was so dry.  Looking at your results I think you found the balance.  It looks moist.  I'd like to know how tender it was.

    Rabbit

    It wasn't greasy at all. I've had wild rabbit before, but this was the first time I've smoked it. It was tender and juicy and delicious!! I think the brine helped a lot!!

    Rabbit

    I'm finally able to find the time to pull the rabbit out of the freezer and smoke it today. I brined it and just threw it on along with some split chicken breasts and a pork loin. I plan to cook the rabbit to about 165 and wrap it. We'll see how it turns out!! I'll post some Q/view of the results!
