Thread: Smoking Goat

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

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.

This might solve your food storage issues.

That would work but be fairly hungry on a 12VDC Battery Supply

That is probably my biggest issue . As you know Mikee, the house is not the best set up

if you do buy something then make sure "free delivery is included" would be good entertainment watching "Smith City" try and get their delivery van to your house.

Ok let me know when you want my true initial reaction to seeing a thread titled 'smoking a goat'

Now will do

Being off-grid in a sunny part of NZ, this might sort your refrigeration needs: http://www.free-energy-info.com/P13.pdf

I guess I really need to work out what I have available from the current (excuse pun) setup, and get someone who knows what they are doing to work out what I can potentially run from the batterys/solar panels.

I will pm you once I work it all out. Cheers

Hi there, I have a three way freezer you can have. it's 120w and 39 liters, it looks like you would have to wire up the 12v plug but looks pretty simple. A small panel and a decent battery should keep it going with all the sunshine hours you get in Nelson(Winter?) If you want it I'm in Buller and could probably drop it off for some gas money.
Cheers.

That is a very kind offer Bugbait. I will PM you.

You've been in the south island 5 minutes and you're smoking goats already. A disgusting southern habit. Next will be sheep, cousins etc...


If you have an endless supply why do you need a fridge? Get a meat safe and only shoot what you can eat

The wasps would see the meat safe as a challenge
