Thread: Smoking Goat

I am fortunate to have a reasonably easy supply of Goats on the property , but unfortunate in that I don't have a freezer as I am off grid.
Thinking of smoking some up to preserve it a bit.
Anyone tried it ? Suggestions gratefully recieved

Loads and loads and loads of goat salami?

I have a fair few 30cal tracer here?

I would be looking at drying and jerky type things with maybe a cold smoke.

I am not a huge fan of salami really Tommy. I do eat it, so will try a few just to find out.

I am sure it can be smoked, and dried/jerky. perhaps also brined and pickled.

let us know how you get on, I have thought about shooting a young goat, and trying to process the meat, several times.

You might struggle to roll a goat up in a Zig Zag, lighting it might be somewhat of an issue too

more seriously though

What about homemade-venison-bresaola but use goat in place of the venni

Find one that works on 12v and I am in. Other than that, I would have to run the geny 24/7

We lived off the grid back in the day ........ didn't get electricity from the grid until 1972.

Only ran the generator when you had too.

Our fridge ran on kerosene.

Did a quick search for you and wadda you know.

A 70L freezer that runs on LPG/12v/240v and readily available in NZ.

.338WM also "Smokes" Goats.

They are low on fat so maybe they are best made into Jerky?
