Food For Thought: Anyone Ever Smoke An Entire Buffalo?

JohnInCarolina

I'm just wondering how long would it take.

I'm also assuming that a thread about the Buffalo can't actually be Buffaloed, less the universe implode.  What say you, friends?

By definition, it is buffaloed from the very start.  I'm sure an algorithm will be at play....the web developers called it the "SGH enhancement".

Scottie is off work, I say we put this on him to see.  He loves buffalo and to be buffaloed.

I tried to smoke an entire buffalo once.  However, when I lifted the lid to check on the cook, the buffalo had been buffaloed and was no longer there!

That was Schrodinger's Buffalo.  Your problem is you should not have observed it.

I do one on the Mini every other week!

Not myself but the Cherokee, Souix, Nez Perce, Black Foot and many other Native American tribes probably have.

Brother in Carolina, unfortunately I have not attempted a buffalo. However we have cooked a few whole cows when I was younger. Depending on carcass cold weight and smoker set up, it can be anywhere from 24-36 hours. My guess is that buffalo would be in the same ball park.

Wow I'm usually done in 3.378967 hours on my Mini!

In honor of the buffalo.

Problem solved brother in Carolina. Edit successful.

I've found whole buffalo to be be very chewy, a bit bony and difficult to digest.  And then there's all the hair.  I'm gonna stick with fruit bats.  Tender, juicy and much less kick.

@bgebrent

eggcellent choice.  The plump roasted fruit bat is a delicacy!

bgebrent

@nolaegghead, one of my very favorites!  Those are almost past juicy perfection.  But would work well on a sandwich for sure.  You never cease to amaze me friend!

nolaegghead

they are very juicy and can make a mess when you bit into them but well worth it.

I have, with friends, flat out smoked a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace. Other than that, I got nothing.
