Hey Bill

That sounds really good.
Have not had any moose in the freezer for about ten years or I would try this.
Do have some ground chuck. Might have to give that a shot.

I lost that picture you sent me of your smoker. If you send it again, i will put it on here for people to be amazed at.

I do the same as above but I have gotten lazy in my old age and now I add some liquid smoke to my brine and use my dehydrator. Hard to keep any around as they clean it up faster than I can make it.

Ya no, I thank that liquid smoke is probably just as good. I can't tell a bit of difference in it -vs- the real stuff and it's probably a lot less headache. Let me tell ya one thang. Don't never, never take a big swaller of that liquid smoke. It don't taste nuthin like it smells. It'll danged near kill ya. They don't call me stupid fer nuthin.

Here are some pictures of Bills fireplace/smoker.
Beautiful.







Here's those two pictures of the jerkey smoker on the left. The wood stove that heats the house is on the right. The jerkey smoker has a steel 6" pipe at the top of the chamber that connects to the wood stove chimney. It drafts so good that you can actually leave the door open and the smoke still goes up the pipe.

The other picture I'm sending is on the second floor. I built in a warming oven into the fireplace. It has heat coming up from the wood stove but doesn't have a chimney so can't be used for a smoker. I put an elec. receptacle in it for a small hot plate we use when the wood stove is not being used. The smoker is directly below that warming oven in the basement.

Sorry Bill, The email went to junk mail!
Found it today.
