I think my local butcher would be jealous, they look great. So is that about the ratio I can expect with my (2) little helpers? Ratio: 4hrs to make:2hrs to eat. If my first batch turns out half as good, I forecast some kids too full to eat dinner.
Welcome to the forum. I'm new myself, can't really field your questions with any confidence. I can tell you I'm currently building a smoke house and I lined the bottom 18" with 1/4" cement board. I'm using the northern tool (3) burner that many on here use. I'm not sure on max temps. As for...
Something you mentioned I overlooked the first time. I deboned a deer(due to transporting across state line rules) and didnt bag it or leave the drain open. I thought being in ice water would ensure it was all being cooled. The meat turned white and when I got it to the butcher he said it was...
Congrats, nice bucks. I've never tried mule deer. Will you use sage brush to smoke them to preserve their natural flavor? j/k of course.
I'm shocked by the info above about handling deer after the kill. Took me 1.5hrs to get it out of the woods, another 3hr drive home. That meat was likely...

OK, got some more work done. I installed all the rack supports. I started laying in the cement board and hit a road block. In my mind I'm thinking it would be much more effective if it had an air gap behind it. Is a gap needed or is the intent just to keep flames from licking the wood and or...
Door bell............ 8-)
This is the burner many guys are using, but its bigger than I thought. You get all these cool ideas on how to do something, but 95% of them wont work when the real hardware arrives. Ill have to think about my smoke box placement.
Finished cutting/drilling the...
