Chef Story about cutting the ham on both ends. She was just carrying on a tradition and some traditions cannot be traced. Way tooo funny. But, also sad at the same time.

Now if you are committed to using as much of the hog as possible, the intestines can be used for casings and the stomach can be prepared and eaten, but you need to flush them several times of their contents and that is not the most pleasant job.
For me, I will stick to buying hog casings casings.

I suspect we’ll just do the fresh casing once just for the experience and then go back to buying them. Since swine aren’t rumen animals I’m not overly interested in the stomach.

processhead jerky from backstraps. Haven’t been able to make myself do that yet.

lkrfletcher that is a dandy.

Nice job working around the challenges.

cdavis You won’t be sorry, I love mine, I think I get a lot better smoke on things and easier to control.

Dr_Pain Got it book marked

cdavis So much good stuff this week.

Dr_Pain that’s some good suggestions. Thanks!

Jonathon said in Toddler and Youth Hats!:

Just in case noone saw it the adult versions are available in M-L and L-Xl. Dont get the L-XL unless you have a VERY big head. These seem to run a little larger than the fitted Camos !

I was going to ask if they came in bucket head size.

Jonathon yep for sure. I have seen some pretty bizarre horrifying stuff going down rabbit holes. Stuff that keeps you awake because people can be so evil!

folsomwest you should be fine with 5 - 7 days

Dr_Pain Yay for you. But, you didn’t let them have any fun. Bad boy, bad boy. :) Betting your gastro bud’s would not recommend the Tabasco trick!!! Glad you had fun with them.

Good podcast Jonathon! I agree with you. The UN can pound sand. I will never stop hunting and eating wild game. I also agree with you on the prices at the store. So out of hand right now. It is tougher at our place right now since my wife walked away from her job since the jab was mandated for her to keep her job. Strange times we are living in.

Dr_Pain Just used my tru hone this morning to sharpen all my knives, it is so simple to use and really puts a great edge on the knives. I would recommend this to anyone who does processing. May be if you are in a group share the cost it is definitely worth it if you use your knives a lot.

I think the tru hone is one of those tools that I would actually consider doing a group purchase for.
Once a knife has an edge on it, I don’t find myself needing that degree of sharpening all that often.
A tru-hone is light and small enough that you could even ship it to others in the collective without breaking the bank.

Hmm. I would be in if some others were up for it.

HAHA! I actually just used the link this morning to make sure I don’t miss the upcoming Livestream! LOL!
