Smoking Deer Bacon in the BEYOND EPIC Smokehouse

[@steveladner4346]

I have never eaten deer bacon and called a friend in Mexico and asked if he could make some for me and he has never eaten it either but we're watching your videos to learn how.

[@pecangrovems]

It's really easy

[@Lauralamontanaro]

Wow, that smokehouse is just really something beautiful to look at. May the Lord bless everything you smoke. I really enjoy watching you both. Enjoy!

[@wandaparker3681]

You two just make my day 😊 I hope y'all have a wonderful 2025. Full of good health, joy, peace and wealth. 🙇‍♀️

[@stevencouitt4286]

Living the good life.

[@chrisevans8308]

You guys are a great inspiration!! Thanks for the good content!!

[@sueyates3555]

Your Smoke House and that deer bacon makes my mouth water. Nice job. God bless you both.

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

Cold at 50 degrees! I would LOVE 50 degrees! Won't see or feel those temperatures for several more months. I am just happy to be out of 14 degrees. Thank you for the smokehouse! I have never seen one in action.

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

Never heard of deer bacon, but I’m going to try it! Years ago an older Gentleman told me that bark left on the oak wood was giving me heartburn. He was right on! Good job on the video.

[@pecangrovems]

Yes it will on red oak I know from experience.

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

@ Yes sir!

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. That looked definitely like some good eating. Thank y'all for sharing and have a blessed day.

[@texaschopper3091]

Oh the joy. Thumbs up.

[@monettecarole]

Congratulations.

[@RoneysPlayNcreate]

Smokehouse looks good 👍

[@pecangrovems]

Girl it worked like a charm.

[@wildturkey8752]

Oh my, that looks so great. Looking forward to seeing it sliced.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

Awesome video and DIY how to provide for yourself and keeping History Alive. Many moons ago we depended on Deer, Groundhog, Squirrel, Fish, Quail, etc. and our hunting skills to never be hungry. Thank you.

[@rikwen96]

When you call that the Epic Smoke House, you are right! That is a beautiful building and it definitely turned out some great looking deer bacon. My mouth is watering just looking at this video.

[@forrestgump9576]

Good afternoon Y'all, and everyone watching! Hope your holiday was a joyful and blessed one. So glad you made this video series on making a bacon alternative! Neither one of us can have pork anymore. This is such a good idea/alternative!!! My mouth was watering! 😊🥰😋

[@loukrudewig3414]

Thank you for sharing this video and the other one where you were processing the meat. Very educational. Y’all do such a fantastic job.

[@Grace_N_Gardens]

Wowzers 😮❤🎉🎉

[@curtisking2962]

Good morning

[@pecangrovems]

Morning

[@JamesSmith-tl5zy]

WOW never heard of deer Bacon but I sure am looking forward to doing what you showed us thank you for sharing this gift of nature 🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊🙏🙏🙏

[@nancytharp8213]

I been waiting for a year to see you smoke bacon. I was praying for cold weather for you all. I really enjoyed the video, especially when Mr. Danny left the protector on the heat thermometer. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏝 🏖

[@melissavisconti89]

Now i might actually like deer meat made like that! Looks so juicy and good!

[@terryl.9302]

It's gettin' real Exciting now ...

[@judydrouhard2651]

Yum. That looks wonderful!🥰

[@anandrew6641]

The happiness is off the charts 😁

[@anandrew6641]

I've now added deer bacon to my todo list

[@jrae6608]

Thanks for sharing

[@BrendaLeigh1630]

Can’t wait to see the bacon! 🦌🥓

[@nancyplank1651]

Definitely must try this!! We love BLTs! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a wonderful and Blessed day!

[@fotoejunkee6247]

Never heard of deer bacon before, but very intrigued by it. I love the new design of this smokehouse. It has so much character.

[@justinestanley8135]

Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@peggyallen3963]

Looking forward to the slicing video

[@shellyallinson8269]

Dear Mr Danny you sure are looking like your in your happy place. I am so impressed with your smoker. Its a dandy for sure. Never had deer bacon before didn't even know there was such a thing. Im adding it to my must try list. As always thanks for the inspiration to try new things. I just love this channel 🙏💓🇨🇦

[@pecangrovems]

Thanks

[@chriswinger7881]

Man I love it when you get excited 😅 ❤. GOD BLESS YOUR SOULS.

[@tammydayfl]

Looks delicious 😋. I'm glad it worked out so well for y'all. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@craftingwithirma5616]

Deer Bacon..! Learned something new today🤗🤗😋❤❤!

[@rawfoodwriter]

Cool!

[@esthersmith3341]

I need a smoke house. I love smoked rabbit and sausage.

[@abcxyz-io7wt]

So glad your so happy with it 💝👍👍💝

[@vickisavage8929]

I expect it’ll be easier to do the smoking when all of the finishing touches are done. Maybe, with this, you won’t run out (🤯) of bacon so soon again. 🤤 IMO, it’s a blessing that it turned out so well. 😋

[@pattybrumbaugh3758]

Did you name the smokehouse Beyond Epic? Don't know how I missed it or just my oldtimers mind Lol. Looks amazing! I love Danny's reaction to the flavor. Have a lovely day.

[@pecangrovems]

Yes we did

[@rosebud-zx7oo]

What an accomplishment. Glory to God ! ❤❤❤

[@sengelmohr]

WOW, that looks Great !!!

[@gmhun]

Danny and Wanda you are making me hungry for some of that deer bacon😂

[@WhatWasIThinkinHomestead]

That looks so good.

[@scrapykat3028]

Good thing you checked on it! Whew!

[@scrapykat3028]

That’s a really nice smokehouse!

[@par4451]

Good morning ❤.

[@pecangrovems]

Morning!

[@Murphco-l2p]

Keep it smoking

[@marymarx336]

It’s 51 here and should have a high close to 60 in southern Indiana. But it’s raining

[@meettheworld6241]

Great video yall. I could almost taste the meat myself!🤤

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Only had deer bacon 1x. Quite tasty. 😊

[@franpaterno486]

Very educational. It looks so good. You did a good job on the smoke house. God bless y’all.

[@janis6697]

Nice!

[@toimccormick9405]

🙏 Thank you for sharing

[@bryanlloyd1099]

That turned out awesome!

[@AlmostHomestead]

That is awesome. I hope to try and make a smokehouse and deer bacon in the future .

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

I was tasting it with y'all . . . . . .mmmmmmm. Nice job, Danny!

[@anandrew6641]

I've never had deer bacon, didn't know it existed. This looks tasty.

[@kikitaube-hansen]

Found you🍀! Thanks for the vid🍽😀

[@loukrudewig3414]

I bet that is delicious! Never had deer bacon. Wanda got the best part. 😂 I wish there was tasteavision. Delicious 😋 Are you going to put a couple of adjustable vents to control oxygen levels? Just curious.

[@pecangrovems]

Yes I am.

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

Sounds interesting and tasty.

[@E.P.7131]

Can we get some tips on deer hunting. I'm on 9 acres in Atlanta, putting out corn and sitting with an SKS

[@JayBane-n9l]

Would love to know where you found those strike anywhere matches?

[@pecangrovems]

Walmart

[@ashtonburgess9569]

Nice ... Got any mulberry ... Green mulberry or seasoned is my favorite smoking wood ... Grows like a weed

[@RoneysPlayNcreate]

They don’t make matches like they used too!

[@pecangrovems]

That's the truth.

[@midwayfarms]

Great video God bless

[@wallacelakehomestead6616]

Been awhile since I made some, got me wanting to make some.

[@denniscleveland669]

It appears that the celery powder does keep it red!

[@stevencouitt4286]

Looks like giant meatloaf. 😁

[@beverlymichael5830]

Beautiful. But not fair tasting and showing is the bacon and making our mouths water. Great job.

[@gailrowland1672]

❤

[@jamesgalbreath6331]

Need to have some wet wood on hand ...to slow burn and smoke when youre ready

[@denniscleveland669]

So you’re actually cooking it?

[@pecangrovems]

Yes it doesn't get cold enough here to cold smoke.

[@Lolah_b]

Is that ground deer? It looks like it in the video. I want to try it on beef.

[@pecangrovems]

Yes mixed with pork

[@trevapowell7699]

What did you put on your deer bacon for seasoning? I know when you were cooking pork belly use brown sugar and salt. I think I only use Redmond salt. I think that’s what you did and then you put it in the icebox and turned it over for seven days, then you brought it out you washed it. You hooked it up on the kitchen cabinet knobs to dry and then you took it back and slice the bacon I have a Traeger smoking crew. I have done the pork belly 4 pound pork belly and I use your recipe. Please show us how you season the deer that looks so good. I could smell it way over here in Biloxi Mississippi. Oh well I can dream Kano. I wish we could really smell it cooking. Wouldn’t that be great!!

[@pecangrovems]

I used the same mixture as my pork bacon. Only use kosher salt don't use mineral salt.

[@genehammond7239]

😋😋👍👍

[@denniscleveland669]

What did you smoke it with.

[@pecangrovems]

Pecan wood

[@dianemeans7626]

Any updates on Ms Lippy and family?

[@pecangrovems]

Not yet

[@Jomama02]

On our little smoker wehave in the garage, the inside is lined in stainless steel. Could you do that to your smoker or is it just a different type? A useless fact: you can make bacon out of banana peels! Saw a Utube video on it.

[@Liberty_DIY]

Make your coals outside in a bonfire and shovel them in as needed next time. LOL would hate to see that nice smoke house become a Firehouse.

[@betrickey]

That treated sill plate is concerning.... 🤔🤔🤔

[@pecangrovems]

It's micronized copper not harmful.

[@rlbgardener6465]

Mr. Danny you might want to build your fire outside in a pit, and then shovel your coals into your pot!

[@ClickinChicken]

You do a lot of building! That's cool. Come build me a Finnish Sauna! haha! Just tossing you! You can roll around in the snow like it's polystyrene ball insulation, and not feel a thing! _Save America!

[@arknanny2547]

@pecangrove new canner here. I want to can some discount hams I got and I have a electric nesco canner would you recommend this as safe? I plan 90 min in qrt jars w a ham broth for covering

[@MsLippy]

Just a helpful suggestion, any electric pressure cooker isn’t considered a safe option for canning. It may say it’s safe; but the USDA says it will not hold the pressure per lbs according to your altitude. Please only use a pressure canner - stove top or a stamped Electric Pressure Canner. 🌷

[@arknanny2547]

​@@MsLippy poor wording on my part it is a pressure canner I have the same one Ms Wanda and Rose Red have

[@jenniferr2057]

​@@arknanny2547 I use mine with great success. The whole world can't without pressure canners and without the USDA rules. I am a very experienced canner, I have 7 canners and I night that canner on Rose red's recommendation.
