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

I have a fair few 30cal tracer here?

Done that a couple of times not pretty the smell is nasty.

.338WM also "Smokes" Goats.

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

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

I am a working man these days ya cheeky prick

First one I stumbled across

118L 2DOOR 12V/24V FRIDGE/FREEZER DC COMPRESSOR | Trade Me

And even if you went 240v you could go inverter off 12v or run genny.

We ran a genny like mine on a chest freezer in the middle of summer for four days and froze about 20 kilos of fillets plus constant opening and closing to stick another dozen beers in and didnt even use a tank of petrol.

Food for thought

I am sure it can be smoked, and dried/jerky. perhaps also brined and pickled.
Must be sum info about, its likely, the most eaten meat in the world, thought not in NZ.
let us know how you get on, I have thought about shooting a young goat, and trying to process the meat, several times.
