    Venison Brisket Poached in Oil

    I've tried a lot of different methods to make venison brisket and all end up in the dog dish as the end up dry, tough and taste like flavored silver skin. Just like most I have given up trying to win the bbq pitmasters competition and have resorted to grinding it into burger. I've been...

    Smoked Fish Dip Competition

    I'm curious to know if there was a competition between all the smoked fished dip recipes posted on SMF which one would win? I'm sure the competition should be a categorized similar to Westminster where salmon might be one category, shellfish, freshwater, saltwater, etc, but what I'm looking for...

    Red Alder and don't even have to worry about it getting dirty in the snow. Results resting Everything turned out perfect. It's very cold out here so I had to run a little longer than I anticipated. It was a little tricky because of having to open the door twice to refuel the wood to get my...

    New Years Bounty Creates Mixed Bag Smoke House

     ​A couple of geese and a couple of turkey legs in brine. I put the ice in a zip lock just so it weights the birds down and doesn't dilute the brine as it melts. It was below freezing so the coolers worked as insulators. ​3 nice whitefish into the brine New Years Eve ended with a bang. 2...

    Traditional Non Dairy Smoked Salmon Pickle Dip Recipe Help Needed

    So I made up dirtsailors 2nd recipe, but added 1/2 cup of chopped dill pickle as that's what my son could pick out as a main ingredient. I will say I had some big doubts about the smoke, butter and pickles combo, but was pleasantly surprised about how well everything blended together. I can't...

    Traditional Non Dairy Smoked Salmon Pickle Dip Recipe Help Needed

    Thanks dirtsailor. I'm going to give that a try. I think you're right they would have used whatever rendered fat they had, and probably berry juice for the acid in the traditional version. As mentioned my son mentioned the dill pickles in it which wouldn't be traditional, but my guess is your...

    Lemons to Lemonade

    Thanks for noticing the detail Marc. It's like my man cave thing where anyone who comes over has to go look at the smoke house and hear the two hour story about how it came about.

    Traditional Non Dairy Smoked Salmon Pickle Dip Recipe Help Needed

    I haven't tried the dip so don't know anything about it other than what my son has relayed. We typically make a lot of cream cheese/salmon dip and he said it wasn't like that at all. JJ in looking at google images he thinks it has a binder of some sort, but remember this is very remote Alaska...

    Traditional Non Dairy Smoked Salmon Pickle Dip Recipe Help Needed

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My son returned home from Alaska for the Christmas holiday and he was kind enough to give us a bag full of salmon for our Christmas present. He teaches in a village of 209 people and all food other than sustenance is flown in. Because of the remoteness and...

    Brine for ducks?

    I've smoked a lot of ducks also with mixed success. Oberst I'm trying your brine as the orange and apple juice really sounds good. I typically do a 1:1 sugar salt brine for 4hrs, then a 30 min heavy smudge cold smoke with cottonwood, then grill to medium, and finally slice thin and make philly...
