Since my father in law loves my smoked rabbit, i threw some in the smoker for our father day cookout. Here are the details. About 5 rabbits worth of meat here. I tried injecting the rabbit with the brine i use, just to try something different. I injected the rabbit and then put it in my poultry brine to sit over night. Then about noon yesterday i pulled it out, rinsed everything off, dried it and wrapped it in bacon. Sprinkled on some cajun seasoning, and stuck it in the smoker at 220* with hickory. Took about 2.5 hrs to get it up to 180, probably could have taken them off at 160-170* though. Still very tasty!

Here is the Q!

Injecting.

Again, i think pulling them out a little sooner would have been better. They were a little drier than i like, but still delicious!

Happy Fathers Day!
 
I think you would love where I live. I have tons of rabbits running through my yard. It's sure difficult shooting them though. lol

Good job!
