I was going to go with a Poli recipe for the SS but i'm lazy tonight.
Got the venison through the 1/8 plate and ready for the cut in. Breaking down the grinder in the back.

Beef fat 1 1/4 lb

I cut the fat in and mixed by hand. Dont want to over work the fat. Do this with the meat as cold as you can stand it.

PID getting the smoker pre heated to 140. When you load the smoker the temp will drop.
