The other day we were at a local butcher and they had rabbits in the freezer. It's been about 25 years since I've had rabbit so i picked one up. After it thawed in the fridge for a couple of days I sprinkled it with my BIL's bbq seasoning and wrapped it in bacon, then in cheesecloth because they are so lean. I moistened the cheesecloth and then smoked it along with the bacon chicken breasts.



It was smoked at 275 for 3 hours with pecan.



It was good. My one son who would try it said he liked it but it did kind of taste like chicken. lol

I will pick the meat from the carcass tomorrow and freeze it for future use.
 
My grandma makes a rabbit in red wine sauce stew that is wonderful. Did the rabbit turn out juicy? It sure looks tasty.
 
Yes, it was moist and juicy. It turned out well.

I haven't had domestic rabbit for years. We usually have a lot of cottontails in the freezer, but didn't get to hunt them yet this year. Yours looks so good, I'm raring to go now! Thanks for the Qview.
 
Mmmm.. I love rabbit too. Used to raise meat rabbits, they are so tasty! Looks great Dawn!
 
Looks great Dawn,
When my parents got married, my grama raised rabbits so slautered a bunch of them for the reception. I guess all attending thought they were eating chicken. lol
 
Looks great...never had a smoked one...I'll have to change that!!
