    First Fatty w/pics

    Wrap: Lean ground turkey and some leftover pulled pork from a smoke a few weeks ago. Filling: Cream cheese, sharp cheddar, onions and pepper blend, with candied jalapenos (all from last year's garden).

    WK Cornish Game Hens

    Yummmm, looks so good! I like the thinner skin the baby chickens have before they grow up, it crisps up nicely.

    How to turn this brick BBQ into a smoker

    That's a nice little setup, you could do so many things with that! I really wish I had one, I have a natural gas well I could pipe into that. If it was mine, I would measure that gap on the front. I'd take that measurement with me to Menard's and find a sturdy paver stone that fits the gap as...

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    5-6 cubic feet for a whole hog. I passed on the liver, we aren't organ meat fans, but I did get a green ham and I'm excited for that, never cooked or eaten a green ham. Might have had some off a whole hog roast, but wouldn't have known it.

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    I just watched that today! To me, this looks like the easy part. Skinning, eviscerating, and breaking it down seem to be the hard parts. I watched a video of a slaughtering and immediate processing, but they didn't give it any hanging/aging time and it looked like a very different process.

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    I will definitely post a cost breakdown once I get the information. I'm quoted at $1.49/lb (hanging weight) and about $50-75 in smoking/curing/sausage fees. Assuming I am not missing any pieces of the puzzle, that should at least match grocery store prices, and the quality/ethics will surely...

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    I don't know for sure, but I would assume they use the fatback in the sausage/ground pork they make from the trim. I am guessing that if you asked a butcher they would provide the trim and fatback separate for your own sausage making.

    Just curious, for what purpose do you want the fatback?

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    You should be able to get whatever you want, if they want your business lol Establishing a relationship helps, I'm sure. This is my first time, but they were super helpful. I'm nothing close to an expert, but I've done a fair bit of internet researching and your welcome to pose any questions...

    Whole Hog Cut Options

    Good points, someone asked me why don't I have a deer hunter do it for me. I've never processed on my own, but I've helped my cousin a few times. I had to explain that a market hog is twice the meat of a deer, and the precision of butchery is completely different. When we do a deer, 90% goes...

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    A good idea, I could just grind up some bacon and mix it through the turkey, form the patties, smoke them to IT, and then sear them up on the grill.

    I'm going to try it one day. My father used to feed out a few pigs a year, I've been wanting to do the same. He never butchered himself, but I think I can handle it. One step at a time.

    Hungarian sausage -Kolbasz.

    Damn. I'd love to try this one day.

    CHICKEN CORDON BLEU FATTIE

    1 lb of bacon enough? I only have thick sliced, I'm guessing regular is going to be a better idea for crisping...

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    Damn, that looks good. I'm going to go ahead and make that, then I can experiment with my own later. Thanks a bunch!

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    I've smoked a few life changing fatties lol. Never any with meat in them yet though!

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    If I mixed in some finely diced fat cap from a butt, would it render/soften fast enough to keep the lean turkey moist and tasty?

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    I have never even heard of a fatty so I have a new goal for this weekend lol thank you!

    Smoked Turkey Burgers?

    Edit* Honeysuckle White 1lb packages and it's actually 93/7. Too lean for smoking burgers, methinks.
