Nope, goes right from brine onto the smoking racks. With jerky being moist allows you to add black pepper to the outside to give them a little more heat.

1 Qt. Cold water, 4 oz sugar, 3 oz non iodized salt, black pepper, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ginger, curry powder, garlic powder, chilly powder, hot red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. Venison sits in brine in fridge overnight.

They stay on pretty well.

Heres the color you want, these pieces were done and pulled by the 15th hour.

Have to just keep checking them and rotating the racks to avoid over cooking them. With this batch i had some of the smaller pieces done by the 9th hour. Once they get that real dark, almost black outer color its time to take those pieces out.

Not sure what grey taste like but this was damn good!!! Gotta give the wifey credit for this one. That is the larger roast from back leg of a young doe. Came out tastey, moist and was so damn tender. In the crock was potatoes, onions, carots, onion soup mix, water and garlic cloves, meat was seasoned and browned before put into crock.

Venison roast, cooked slowly in crock pot.

I set my temp. At 140 and set my timer for 20 hours. , at the 15 th hour or so i will start to pull some of the smaller pieces that are done ( dont want to over smoke/cook them as then they become brittle). Some of the larger pieces may even go more then 20 hrs. Just have to keep checking and pulling them as they are done. Also should rotate the racks every few hours.

Yep its a Masterbuilt. No dont wait till it gets warmer, the colder outside the better. The colder it is outside the more often the heating element needs to work to maintain the desired temp., which translates into more smoke (which you want). Thats venison.

Come by, will be ready in 20 hrs.

Haha, with 4 kids im lucky i even get a piece...lol

First batch of the new year, smoked over hickory.

When making my hot dogs, dry sausage, sausage, burgers and meat balls i almost always try to shoot for a 50/50 ratio of venison and fatty pork. This has proven to provide a moist product. I have even done a 60/40 mix with pork being 60 when making sausage and that provides for an even juicer product.

Thats great Tommy, thats how i started way back when with a recurve that my uncle got me. Still have that recurve, some 37 years later. Dont think for a second these little ones dont remember. Keep at it gramps, its very rewarding for both you and him. Looks like Eddie is off to a great start, thanks to you.

Agree 100%, my motivation to pop out of bed at 4am is to see deer, not a particular deer, any deer. I dont wake up thinking todays the day i shoot a big buck, if it happens fine but that has never been the motivation to get out there and hunt for me or my family. To be honest the most enjoyable part of hunting is all the pre-season activities, butchering deer, family time..etc. Dont get me wrong i have been very blessed through the years in getting big bucks and will continue to hunt big bucks, but i have been known to shoot a doe or a young buck just as fast. I love to hunt and enjoy the meat, even better is spending time with my family...its never and never will be about horns. Some are just driven by $ while others learn fast that $ cant buy alot of things in life. I dont see why anyone cant make a honest living selling deer, more power to that person/s, however fot these person/s to assume all hunters are horn hunters, is just not accurate. From what i can see not many people are agreeing with FSW and i think we as a forum are a good sample of NY hunters from all over this great state, which prroves that hunting for the vast majority on this forum its not about horns.

I can also see that being used as a planter.

Homemade veniison sausage, pasta with pesto sauce.

Very nice euro and a great buck, congrats.

Yes, i have a friend that witnessed DEC or a state agency where they would tranquilize bucks, sterilize them and then place an ear tag. This method does not seem to be working as the population is still increasing. Besides theres always unsterilized deer that venture over from NJ.

Best of luck with the surgery and wishing you a very speedy recovery. Take things slow, no need to rush the healing.

Still snowing in Brooklyn , winds unreal. Going out to start the snowblower.

TF stop spreading Rumors...lol...Come down my block in Brooklyn, every other house uses a snowblower and if your old theres plenty kids and adults going around looking for work. Trust me, we are all well equipped.

Yeah long island is looking to get upwards of 18" of snow. Not good. Here in Brooklyn and im very close to the bays and ocean, we are looking at aroumd 10". But with these drifts, some areas look like theres 10" already and it just started a couple hours ago, ..ugh...and the worst part its so damn cold.

Very bad here in Brooklyn as well, lots of snow and winds are unreal. Im home today, rec"d the message blast from my company last night that the offices were closed. Just heard that alot of trains are not working. Crazy out there. Be safe everyone!!!

Happy Birthday
