    Fennel and Anise Seeds

    The main thing when using fennel,anise or any seeds is to rub them in the palms of your hands to get them to start releasing their oils before you add them to the recipe!

    Can I hot smoke with sawdust?

    I have a Masterbuilt analog electric and I've found it works best with dry saw dust. Not knowing your heat source, at most you may have to dampen the dust but it should be fine for hot smoking no matter what the fuel.

    New MES Bluetooth Digital smoker

    If they wanted to redesign their smoker they should have partnered with amaze-n- products and designed it with a rack and proper vents for their pellet smoker to be included with the smoke house!

    Another thermapen sale ! !!

    Good find, if it works as advertised! I've never heard of this brand before, but many others have made similar claims, but so far only the thermapen has lived up to them. Order one,try it out and if it works submit a review and save some folks some money!

    Whole hind quarter?

    I stopped giving my dogs venison years ago, because they stay in the house with me. When you're watching tv at night there is no mistaking the aroma of a dog with deer gas !

    Whole hind quarter?

    It's not that hard to bone out in 1 piece and it will cure faster & easier ! Then just roll and tie when you smoke it. Also cure & smoke the bones & shanks separately. Good for stock or soup.

    venison belly meat

    Second that! I eat a lot of deer and I've given up on trying to find ways to make ribs, belly or flank meat palatable for human consumption. Even when mixing into ground meat that venison suet just fouls the rest. I now just grind it separately and cook for the dogs. Then I have to listen to...
