Smoking Buffalo

[crockadale]

I'm not sure where to to put this but someone offered me some Bufallo to smoke. Where dose someone begin? I understand that Buffalo is very lean and requires very little time to cook...so any sugestions will be appreciated. I am thinking though that it may be simular to smoking deer meat, that is also a very lean meat.

I have smoked buffalo bacon and summer sausage. I have "cooked" quite a bit of buffalo; do not make it like regualr beef, it is a slow and low type cooking with the low fat content in the meat. What kinds of cuts of meat do you have or what are you planning on making? I have never smoked buffalo prime rib, planning on doing that for X-Mas.

I have some buffalo burger I need to cook up, just can't decide what I want to do with it. I usually just make burgers wrapped in bacon.

May I suggest buffalo bacon or summer sausage?

Oops, I repeated my previous post !!! Just because it is good stuff.

Mossy, I just might do one of those....thank you for the suggestion.

I had an earlier post where I mixed ground Buffalo with Goose breasts and a pork butt and made a very tasty meatloaf (fatty).

Bombo, that sounds really good.
