    Front Leg of Venison Whole

    Idk. I was going to do the same thing, and still have a front shoulder in the freezer. When I read about others doin it here I decided not to. Hopefully someone who knows will post.

    Front Leg of Venison Whole

    Looks great, and I'm glad it turned out well. I've thought about doing that but read that bone in doesn't do well?

    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    Thanks Dave, I'm not a big fan of rolls. Takes too much extra time to measure, cut, and seal. I'll keep using the quart bags most likely but wanted to put my two cents out there. Who knows, hopefully others feel the same as I do.

    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    I'd like to be able to purchase bags that were sized for bacon. I currently use quarts bags but I usually have to cut a little off the end of the meat and then still barely have enough plastic left to seal. Using a bigger bag, like a gallon bag, is a lot of waste. 6" x 14" I think would be a...

    Bacon Shortage?

    12! That's a freezer full! I figured pork, and most likely beef too, will go up due to the drought. I don't look forward to it at all. The cheapest I've found pork butts around here was $1.59.... :(

    Having troubles with my first Boston Butt smoke

    Pulled pork takes around 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound typically. Your butts should've been done by the time you checked it at 7. The only thing I can think of is your smoker temp is off. I hope they turn out well for ya.

    Cold smoked BBB with a bourbon cure

    Meat was placed in the freezer for about an hour to make slicing manageable. Smell that??? You can definitely taste the bourbon. The fennel and coriander gives it a funky taste, IMO. the wife liked it at first till the fennel/coriander kicked in. May try omitting it in the future. Will...
