to finish in a water bath which is the best time saver you can use. A turkey roaster works fine or a large pot of water on the stove

Chefbjorn Yeah, I’d 2nd what PapaSop said. We did a bunch of venison summer sausage yesterday and the difference between 20% pork fat and 25 and 30% was amazing. Also, using deer fat and beef fat is going to limit the creaminess you can get, which does effect more than just the phrase which shall not be named (mouth feel…ugh I’m gonna need therapy just typing it) so I’d look at switching to pork fat.

not only does deer tallow taste bad, but you need to be careful because it goes rancid a lot faster then beef or pork fat. I also do 50/50 venison/pork butts

I get the mouth feel thought. But I always thought that the nutritional value of deer fat was greater than beef or pork fat so thats why I was persistent in eating it. Same idea of organ meats vs. Muscle meats and nutritional value - taste is less desirable for most but incredibly beneficial. Not too worried about spoilage, 30 degrees outside and in my work area. Now all meat is in freezer unless I plan on eating it withing 24 hours. I will definitely experiment with pork fat next year when I get another deer, and get a water circulator… Thanks for all the input!

I use a roaster and it works great and saves so much time. -
I finished this batch in a shallow pan on the stove top last night after 2 hours in the smoker with cherry wood. They ended up a bit more juicy than the last batch!

Chefbjorn man those look great. I don’t think you need any help in that department.
