New from southwest Wisconsin

[mike anliker]

I'm Mike, from Spring Green, WI.  I've never owned a smoker before now, I just picked up the Cajun Injector Glass Door Electric Smoker from Cabelas the other day.  Hopefully I have good luck with it.  I'm going to season it tomorrow and try a venison roast and a brisket on Sunday.  Any tips for smoking either of those?

Welcome
There is a ton of great info here and a lot of helpful people
I've never done venison on the smoker but I'd be careful not to dry it out with the really low fat count.

Good luck and enjoy

Plenty of venison running around up there. You are 20 or so minutes from me.

And just for fun, here's some pickled fish that I did recently

 

[ab canuck]

Looking good.... What kind of fish did you use? And brine?

 

[heavy hauler]

Mike Did you get down to Dicks for $0.49 PR LB chicken quarters last week?

 

[beuregard]

Hi, I too am from the Stoughton area of Wisconsin. Would you care to share you pickled fish recipe with us? Also, what type of fish did you pickle here in the picture. Thanks the fish looks great.

 

[mike anliker]

It is bluegill and northern. The brine is vinegar, sugar, pickling spice and white zin. The recipe is on YouTube if you wanna see it. It's out of this world. Look for the video of the guy on the houseboat

No I didn't, damn that's a good price. Don't have a Dicks near me, I'm in Spring Green.
