Smoker Upgrade!

Retired157 Looks like he needs to go find some birds.
Oh we do that!!! First pointer I have ever owned… love it!
-
Retired157 Nice Labradoodle, if that is what your dog is. almost like a friend of mines old one. He are my two rescues, bother and sister.
By the way, I getting all my ‘equipment’ out and ready. I suspect your binder will be here pretty quickly and hopefully, I will get that first Summer Sausage made sometime next week!

What would you use for the amount of cheese for 10lbs… I was thinking yesterday one pound was a lot but that’s the ‘called for’ amount. I was thinking more like 1/2 a pound… for color lol. I want to taste the meat!

I use 8oz per 3lbs meat. That said, it’s all what you want in the end game. Just experiment.

Retired157 Had a Brittany that was quite a dog, she was a great dog and I learned so much training her, nice change for a lifetime Lab person, but I still have a Lab.

Retired157 USPS says Monday, says it is still in Kent as of last night which is about 40 miles from me and a hub. Not sure whether they will put it on a truck or plane. Alaska Air only has one flight out of Seattle to GF everyday and it’s a one day roll by long haul truck. USPS usually goes by air if it is over 600 miles which you are.

Thanks for that info. Given the amount you are using, I think I will try my first batch using one pound and adjust up or down from there.

Yep, I am watching! Monday seems to be the day.

Yep, I went through three labs when I was into duck & goose hunting heavy. The BEST part about bird hunting is watching your dog work… mesmerizing! I too do all of my own training.
Smokey & I hunt grouse and again, the fun I have watching that boy hunt… it’s everything! The other nice thing about Griffons are that from a ‘shedding’ perspective, they almost don’t! I’d not say they are non-shedders like say a poodle, but they are pretty darn close. Yes, Smokey looks like an old hairy ‘rug’ mess but he doesn’t shed. -
Nope… no dogs; just a four leg’ed son! lol

We have had a German wirehair, a Brittany, cocker spaniel and a basset as hunting dogs. The GW was the hardest working but also the most hard headed, the spaniels the easiest going and the basset the mix of the two former. The Spinone seems to be a blend of all those breeds. Looking forward to this fall hunting and this upcoming spring training.

Oh she’s beautiful! You’ll have lots of fun with that girl… Hang On! Smokey was four this year… and still a pup. I now understand why Griffon owners say that if you want a ‘pup’ for life, get a Griffon!
All of us with our chosen ‘pets’, understand just exactly what joy they add to our lives.
I forgot to mention when I was telling everyone about Smokey that not only do I use him to grouse hunt, but I also trained him to ‘shed’ hunt. This is crazy fun! You should introduce your girl to this talent. It gives your ‘best buddy’ something else to do while you’re out wondering the woods.

Retired157 that is something I will have to try. My GWP I used for upland bird, waterfowl, rabbit, etc… I just needed to get him on the scent and it was game on. But he had to do it his way, the hardest hunting dog we ever had.
