A five gallon stock pot of venison stock. I'm rough processing two does and a buck: mainly deboning and vacuum sealing. Most will be ground for hamburger or sausage but some meat I set aside for jerky. Also, got the backstraps sealed separately.
The stock has onions, leeks (white parts and green tops), parsnips, carrots, celery, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary plus all of the bones (roasted) and scraps. Onions, carrots, and parsnips were roasted too.
Hah! I knew it! I would love to know how you prepare those in such a way that you can get that nice bite-through without just mashing the taters with yer teeth... looks so delicious.

Wow you folks are awesome. I haven't cooked in more than 2 weeks other than the baguette I did. I hope to change that this week. Tonight a simple salad and a chunk of baguette. Salad was lettuce, onion pepperocini, provolone and genoa salami. With one of my favorite store bought dressings, Ken's Steak House Northern Italian.
It’s been a long time since I made my favorite roast, Mississippi Pot Roast. It’s absolutely the best tasting and easiest roast to make. Besides the Chuck roast itself, there’s only 3 or 4 ingredients to add, depending on if you want to add some Pepperonci peppers. If you haven’t made it before, or heard of it, the ingredients are not typical of most roasts. When it’s done, it’ll fall apart picking it up, no knife needed. I had mashed potatoes, fresh green beans and garlic toast as sides. Cornbread is better served with it, but sometimes I’m just a lazy bastard. Here’s a link to the recipe if you’re interested. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...ippi-pot-roast

Bought a bag of TriTips and decided to get adventurous. Since so many of you have been talking about "dry brining" I decided to give it a go, and I wasn't disappointed.
Here's one of them after spending the night in the fridge with his bag mates. The color change was kind of cool to see.
So, covered in mustard and applied my DOGSSP rub on them and put them on the smoker.
Even though it was only 35F out, the smoker got up to temp and held it well. After a couple of hours, I put them over the hot coals for a reverse sear, and this is how it looked after slicing it in half.
Some were more charred than others (hey, it was dark by then, ok!) But, not dry and great flavor! The other half of this one went to some friends down the street, and after cleaning up I settled for a couple of sandwich's. No plating photos, but trust me, they were good.
Dry brining is going to be more of a thing around here after this, so thanks to everyone who's been talking it up.
I guess I shoud put this in the “What are you digesting” thread cause I forgot to take a pic of cooking 😂 After eating and vacpacking I was on the way to the garage fridge, doh, forgot to snap a pic…..this is all I got 😁 Two racks of St Louis Wibs, one nakid and one crutched. 6.5 hours at 225°, came out great! Now have a few meals ready for sous vide 😁
