    Jalepeno Elk Sticks

    With a freezer full of elk meat and a full calendar ahead of hikes & fishing trips, it was time to make some snack sticks. 10 lbs I had some collagen casings (21mm) in my bin that were maybe two years old so I didn't know if they'd hold up but luckily for me they did just fine. The meat was...

    Sausage Saturday 45lbs

    Got a great price on pork shoulders so my weekend plans have shifted quickly. Instead of swinging flies at some hungry trout, I'll be making 3 types of sausage and a 10 lb chub of Bologna. There are worse ways to spend your Saturday then making delicious fresh sausage. Initial 3/16" grind is...

    Elk Heart (or any great piece of meat) - caper cream sauce

    A tradition in our family has always been cooking up heart and tenderloins and/or backstraps the night of the harvest. I grew up in the upper midwest so there was never a concern for any diseases so there was no testing needed to be done to wait to hear if your meat was editable or not. The past...

    Smoked Whole Duck with Turkey Gizzards

    I grew up eating duck and goose my whole life and this is the first smoke I've done with duck.  I haven't been out duck hunting since moving to CO so this is a little embarrassing but I bought a duck at the store. The duck is in a brine in the fridge and tomorrow it'll get some smoke. The...

    Cherry Cola Ribs CSR's

    I'm smoking a duck tomorrow so I figured I'd throw some Country Style Ribs in the smoker alongside the quack. Picked up some cherry cola and added some salt, redpepper flakes and celery seed to the brine. I'm shooting for a 24 hr soak to really see the effect of cherry cola. I figure if they...

    Elk Gyro's

    Can't wait till supper! I smoked up an Elk Backstrap today. It's sitting it the fridge foiled right now sucking up its own juices. I'll slice it thin, pan sear it quick, and serve it with a homemade Gyro Salsa & Greek Tzatisiki Sauce. Another way I have yet to try is make grind the elk meat...

    Smoking Two boneless pork shoulders

    Having a little get-together so this is the first time I've smoked two shoulders for PP. 7lbs each. I tried a couple new things this time. Instead of mustard to hold the rub, I used a light EVOO. I'm using Todd's Mesquite pellets for the first time. I'm also trying a couple new finishing...

    I couldn't stand to see my smoker like this....

    CLEAN & SHINY!  Ok, I like a clean & shiny smoker but it was in the 60's today and I decided it was time to really clean my MES 40 window and replace all my tinfoil with new tinfoil, spray off the deck, etc. Carrying on with my weekend chores...that damn smoker kept eyeballing me and getting...

    Pulled Pork Buttox

    I finally got around to making some Pp with using the popular methods here of foiling at 165°F, taking it to an I.T. of 205°F and then wrapping it in my own personal bath towel (yes I smell like smoked pork everyday) and storing it in a cooler until din din time. I was surprised to learn that...

    Meaty Bacon and Cured & Smoked Ham

    Ran out of bacon one morning so I called 911 and ordered a new slicer and some pork belly's. This was some of the meatiest bacon / belly I've ever seen. Somehow, being its so meaty, I don't feel so guilty eating it. ;) I'll have to come back with my notes and share more of the process and...

    Snack Sticks, Fresh Sausage & Summer Sausage.....Mule Deer

    Bambi the Mule Deer made her way to my grinder over the weekend. The meat was surprisingly sweet because it was so young and the area it was harvested was low in sage. It was better then any whitetail I've ever eaten and quite close to some elk I've had.  After making a burger and some sloppy...

    Grinder Parts OK in dishwasher or NOT?

    I have a Weston grinder that I've been hand washing because the instructions say it's not a great idea to put in the dishwasher. It's all stainless steel, and I've never had problems washing stainless steel items in my dishwasher before.. Do you think it's fine to wash in the dishwasher...

    Pan Fried Trout.......................Bow vs Browny

    The boss let me take a two hour hooky break today so I headed down to a little creek 20 minutes away with pan friend trout for supper on my mind. I rarely keep these little gems but a few times a year I make it a special treat. Usually it's grilled creek-side with some wild mint, wild porcini's...
