    My Pastrami

    Good looking meat. I also just figured out that pastrami was corned beef. Makes some fantastic sandwiches. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Pastrami: smoked corned beef

    Product came out pretty good. I would soak it longer up front. I have made some sandwiches with swiss cheese. Very good. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Pastrami: smoked corned beef

    Ohcrap.....you are right. It was very salty. I only soaked them for about an hour. Smoke was fine. Got it cooked. Now in the oven with apple juice seeing if I can pull any salt out. No idea if it will work. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Pastrami: smoked corned beef

    Finally have some warm weather. High of 29. Somehow feels like spring with the cold winter we have had. Picked up a couple of corned beef briskets to try to smoke. Never tried before. Googled how to smoke corned beef. Turns out....I'm making pastrami. Never knew that was the difference...

    First successful brisket.

    Didn't take much for pictures. Saw some brisket and pork shoulders at Costco. Around 20 degrees today. Haven't smoked anything for awhile. Smoked for about 3 hours and finished in oven. Too cold out. Plus I had deer coming up about 5 yards from smoker. They let it be. Tried briskets before and...

    Venison Barbacoa

    Started at 1:00. In oven for 4 hours @ 250. Couple hours on smoker. Probably only getting temp of 125. Back into oven @ 300 until 3:00. Fell asleep. It is very tender and completely falls apart with ease. The added fat is a must. I tried some without and then added bacon grease I had saved. I...

    Venison Barbacoa

    Getting the smoke on. It smells really good from all the seasonings. Hope she falls apart in the end. Not until I get it back out of smoker though. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Venison Barbacoa

    I diced up jalapenos. Looking forward to the final product. I have bacon grease to use instead of lard. I also have about 10 pounds of jerky to make tomorrow. Smokers will be going and dehydrator. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Venison Barbacoa

    Will add meat to smoker later this afternoon and then put back in pan with juices to simmer. Hope this works out well. I used jalapeno and put fresh cilantro in the pan. Only part I varied on from original recipe. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk

    Venison Barbacoa

    Would it do me any good to marinate or brine the meat overnight? I'm assuming that might be overkill. Should have plenty of flavor from the recipe I'm guessing.

    Venison Barbacoa

    http://honest-food.net/2013/10/28/barbacoa-recipe-venison/ Found this recipe on the web. Also saw that it has been done by someone on here. I have 5 front shoulders to make. Having a squirrel hunt derby this weekend and wanted to make something people hadn't ever had.  Last year I cooked...

    Venison w/ what type of pork for sausage.

    Sounds good to me. Thanks for the help. I thought that is how I should be looking at it, but wanted to make sure.

    Venison w/ what type of pork for sausage.

    So would getting the 80/20 in tubes and then maybe adding some pork trim be the right idea to help get the entire batch to 80/20? More information probably wouldn't hurt from my end so you know what I'm working with. I'm using 15 pounds of venison to 10 pounds of pork for almost all recipes...

    Venison w/ what type of pork for sausage.

    I'm working on making a bunch of deer meat with pork. Into hot polish sausage, bacon, ring bologna and summer sausage. I've used pork trim before and I've read that pork shoulder would work. Just called the nearest meat department to see what they had and he said he could get in tubes of course...

    First time making sausage

    Half of summer sausage on smoker and half hanging. The big breakfast links I made were a little dry. Need to figure out how to smoke it without completely drying it out. A cold smoke would be great on them, but I don't know how to produce that. Might be a project to build a smokehouse for...
