    New build

    I don't have any low vents on mine. If you want it to "breath" why are you trying to seal it? Sealing it and having lower vents sound contradictory of each other in application. Mine is quite a bit smaller than yours, but it works fine. I used old reclaimed barn wood that is pine and ran the...

    Venison Ribs

    Ditto for Maryland. I just shot an 8 point last week and he had a fat cap on his rump 1 1/2" thick. His flanks were awful too. It was extremely difficult trimming that just to grind. Some I gave up on and said "The coons and foxes got to eat too." They love it too. This buck had a fat ball...

    Red chili powder

    I think I just learned the term "red" chili powder is a rather ambiguous term. Its more what each separate spice mixer thinks, rather than a set type recipe. I am still working on the Chorizo idea and lots of Ancho power was damn plain. I am thinking along this line and the recipe has...

    Red chili powder

    The wife made me a recipe and just has Red chili powder. The more I read it is varying from Mild to hot and with out picking a brand they are all different.

    Red chili powder

    Is this the same as Cayenne, or something else? I got a recipe I am working on and it said "red chili powder" and I used Ancho chili powder and it was bland. Online reading is confusing me more.

    My Smokehouse Build Journey

    Looks like you are off to a good start. Not negative, but a design consideration. I have one suggestion for people building wood sided structures. If you look at traditional wood siding. Horizontal siding over laps to help with run off. Stacked boards let water get between them. Cedar will hold...

    Venison chorizo sausage

    I tried one out of various recipes and chili powder is not enough to make it. I didn't know there was a difference between chili powder and red chili powder. Got to try over again with just pound. Now I got 4# in the freezer that might need cayenne added.

    Pawpaw butter

    Sorry for ya'lls luck not having any around. You also wouldn't probably notice these if you didn't hike through them or where not a hunter. They only grow in the under story of the woods I have seen. I can't smell very good and pawpaws over ripened falling to the ground are one of the most...

    Pawpaw butter

    No, I missed that as it blew over my head and messed up the last last bit of hair I have. The longer story is written here.

    Pawpaw butter

    I wanted to make this stuff but spent to much time on hunting and other things and forgot about gathering them. Its like sweet and tangy once you add the lemon juice. This is going to be on my list every year now.

    Jerky Recipes

    Yea the problem is I, me, is the only one eating snack sticks except when my son comes home and takes some. I open them and start eating them and to get rid of them sometimes its me and the dog eating them. I make my wife's favorite, Lebanon Bologna, and she hardly eats it. My daughter gets on...

    Jerky Recipes

    Well that is exactly how you might describe mountain deer out here. There is a noticable difference between the mountain and valley deer in table fare. Mountain deer are in woods, fields and yards and it affects their taste. Valley deer live in the farm area and better food and hence better...

    Venison chorizo sausage

    Thank Inda, Pm's are appreciated also. I'll probably change it anyways some and use it as a base. The wife unit, has particular tastes. I can't make most German recipes as she doesn't like Mace, all spice type flavors.

    Jerky Recipes

    I have figured out if I you eat geese you'll eat anything. I have farmer that will not take any geese we shoot. :emoji_laughing: The wife told me "You take them ALL on home. I don't want to even try eating one of them again." Jerky was what I used to do with geese before curing them into easy...

    Jerky Recipes

    It doesn't say where you're from, but mountain deer around here are not as good as valley deer which eat a lot of corn and soybean. Mountian deer eat mountain laurel and black oaks and none of that contributes to "the best" venison. I want to disguise this meat. I will probably cure some also as...

    Jerky Recipes

    Legal to do what? I am in Maryland in Region B and we get 10 does per season (bow, Muzzy and Rifle) and three bucks if you buy the extra stamp). Do I know anyone shooting that many? No, I might even have to give away deer this year to make this lady happy. Down near Baltimore they made does...

    Meat your maker brand grinder

    I have the LEM big bite 3/4hp and the 25# mixer and it works great. I wanted to say you couldn't slow it down but the first butchering time of a deer my daughter tried to run entire leg shanks through untrimmed. :emoji_astonished: I was about ready to administer a beating. I think I yelled...

    Smokehouse / firebox size

    Line all the bricks on the inside with fire brick. I didn't go all the way up and have brick joint heaving when its heats up. The concrete roof is porous also and its always wet in there.
