gChart welcome to the site, a lot of good info and experience here. I like your stuffer, I have my great grandmother’s and it looks just like that. I retired it as a shelf piece, built like a tank, almost as heavy.

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.

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!

Here from Yukon, Oklahoma. I process my own venison every year. Love making a variety of sausages and jerky.
