    Brined my duck!

    RW, That's some good looking eats right there. May have to look that brine up next time I'm lucky enough to put some waterfowl in the freezer. Suprised they were a little rare at 155 though. I don't like to overdo duck or goose and above 150 seems high to me. Still looks great though...

    MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR BROUGHT ME SOME GOODIES!

    It's comments like these that remind me how much I take access to good cheese for granted. Two cheese factories within a short drive. And the hand rolled butter. Never buy the commercial stuff again when you get used to that. Guess the wife keeps me spoiled. Happy new year everyone. May...

    MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR BROUGHT ME SOME GOODIES!

    Nice deal you got there Al. As a Wisconsin boy, I'm spoiled when it comes to cheese. Also, not a big fan of smoked cheese, but those sure look like they turned out fantastic. I'm sure you Neighbors will love it when they come back. Mark

    Newbie got a smoker for Christmas

    Welcome, Chris. You've come to the right spot for help. Lots of experts that know a lot about smoking just about anything you can think of. Advice for the loins. Don't over cook them. I don't take any venison above 145. As for pork loin, don't go over 142. Others can correct me if...
