    Vacuum sealed beef trimings

    I thawed some brisket trimmings to mix in with some venison grind. When thawed I noticed it had a dry aged appearance, it smells fine, it's not freezer burned, it's been in the deep freezer for no longer then a year if that. Curious if anyone has seen this before

    Venison Burgers

    Unfortunately I didn't get out this year, I was fortunate a buddy got a bigin (220)dressed out He did share his back strap and tenderloins (I am very fortunate on that) Wished I'd grilled, cast iron was okay, not even close to off the smoker/grill flavor

    Main reason for post was I was questioning when to flip and pull, the burgers didn't sweat/bleed through like normal burgers. I usually us my grind for chili, this was my second straight venison burger grill, 1st one came out great no game back flavor. This time there was a deeper game taste...

    Traeger Turkey smoke

    Are there any DIY suggestions on what I can do to help my Traeger reach and maintain temps when outside temps are cold? Not really wanting to fork out $150 for their insulation blanket, or is it worth buying if I use it threw out the winter?
