    Target IT for venison roast?

    I wish I had a cooler and could hang my deer for a week before processing!

    Target IT for venison roast?

    Mine sometimes sit in an ice chest of ice water for up to a week, draining the bloody water a couple times a day. I left til 165, let it sit for about 30 minutes before slicing...it was still pretty juicy and tasted good. Had I pulled it earlier, I know for sure the family wouldn't have ate it.

    Dr. Pepper and Jalapeños Venison Jerky

    Did you smoke the jalapeno slices also? I finally dried mine today in the MES and dried the jalapeno slices also. Turned out great!

    Database for smokes?

    It seems like everytime I smoke, I have to look up the IT's I am shooting for. I also seem to be hit or miss with my smokes so I am hoping to find some sort of database I can use or create to log info, prep notes, times, temps, etc for my cooks. Anyone use or do something like this?

    Small whole hog...

    I talked to a guy yesterday that says to wrap after the first hour...says a small one doesn't take any smoke after that anyway.

    Small whole hog...

    If I remember right, I pulled it off at IT of 168 in the front shoulders. I did not brine but did inject with apple juice and ACV and never wrapped. I sprayed every hour with apple juice. I don't remember how long it was on for, but entire cook was at 225. It wasn't just dry, it was almost...

    Brisket night cook?

    If I cook at 250, I should be ok? I just don't want it to cook to fast. I don't have much brisket experience so I want to get it right this time!

    Brisket night cook?

    I have a 12.7 pound brisket that I am thinking about putting onto the smoker one evening before bed and smoking all night, get up the next morning and wrap and finish it off. I will be using a MES40 with AmazN smoker tray. Is this doable? Or will it need to be wrapped sometime during the night?

    Small whole hog...

    The larger ones I kill get made into breakfast sausage or smoked sausage. I am just now getting into trying to smoke the littler ones since that is all I am seeing. The big ones stay out of sight for the most part!

    The second pic was after driving the posts into the ground, but before fixing the feeder and putting it back into place.
