Venison Bacon

[Winterrider]

Ran out so time for new batch. Last time I went half and half and seemed a bit dry. This time 5# venison, 7# pork butt.
12 1/2# batch of Curly seasoning this time.
Just used KA for this small batch.

Seasoning mixed and packed in saran wrapped 8x8 tins and fringed overnight to cure.

Racked and probed following morning.

MES 40 heated to 200° and settled back in at 140° for 1 HR
Temp raised to 150°for 1 hr, with 1/2 tray of LJ Competition Pellets
Temp raised to 165°, rolling along and progressing nicely.

9.5 hrs , loaf temps to 150°, fridge overnight.

Sliced , tastes very good. Not near as dry as half and half mixture.

Vaccum sealed

If you ever get interested in making venison pastrami sandwich meat (very similar to this) then let me know! I have a post on it here :)

Pastrami Loaf with QView!!!

I did a Pastrami Loaf today and WOW!!!! Don't let the word "Loaf" fool you. It's more like a Sausage and not really like a Meatloaf. Pics first and write up after. ************************************************** [EDIT: added link to recipe I used] Hi guys I figured I would make it...

That is some fine looking venison bacon and a great write up too! This is something, along with the ground formed pastrami that is pretty high up there on my to do list. I'll have to check out the Curleys mix for the bacon.

I'm bookmarking this for future use.

I agree with Chopsaw. Love that mix. That reminds me, I've been out for a while.

Looks Awesome, Rider!!
That's the same method I use for my "Bear Loaf", but I use the same mix as I use in my Bear Sticks & Bear Logs.
Nice Job!

Thanks, yes I stuffed these pretty full. I think next time I will use my grill mats as the weight of these pushed meat down thru the grates probably 3/4"
