Joe from Cheyenne, WY. Would like to process my own meat from the field to the freezer. Looking for ideas and techniques to make it simple, enjoyable and ultimately the best care possible to enjoy the meat that I have harvested.

jfrauendienst0309 you need the article “Aging Big Game” by Roy Field at the Agricultural Station University of Wyoming in Laramie Wyo. They also have other good publications and recipes for sausage making. Been using this info for 60 years in the Great White North

Waiting on UPS for my seasonings! What’s everyone’s call On corned beef inject and cook the next day or brine for 10-14.
detter22 I am a bit undecided. I would do both and call it a compromise. LOL If you have the time I would brine. I have been leaning more towards friutwoods lately for smoking my bellies. I still like hickory for a cold double smoke though, oak is actually pretty good too.

YooperDog I’m from Michigan too! I do a mesquite, hickory, cherry, and apple wood combo as my basic smoking for anything. I have never gone wrong with cherry or apple though. Happy smoking!
@J-B-Mac I am up near the Marquette area. I do use a mix probably more often than not. I tend to limit mesquite to beef, buffalo, ect… as those proteins are strong enough to stand with the mesquite. I will get my fill of mesquite soon as I will be cooking with it daily for a few weeks out in the field.

YooperDog I know the area well! God’s country! I’m in the upper part of the mitt that gets the same snowfall you do. The fruit woods are heavy, and the mesquite and hickory wood is light in the mix. It’s my go-to, and it’s never failed me. Everyone has their own taste though, and none of them are wrong!
