    @SGH did you stuff with raw bacon or do you precook it at all?

    The large birds in the pan I did debone. The small bird I did not debone. Just split it, stuffed and jet netted.

    Raw bacon my friend. I jibble it up into 1/2 inch pieces and it cooks down without issue or cause.

    Just a tip. Any time you want to use raw bacon as a stuffing reduce it to small pieces first. You will avoid compactation issues and the bacon will fully cook. Whole pieces of bacon can become a thermal mass or heat sync inside of a cavity and not properly cook down. I have used raw bacon for stuffing for years with no issues due to first reducing it to very small pieces. Just thought I would share.

    Excellent information, thank you, I have been watching the debone video NPHusker posted and will be trying one soon and I like your choice of stuffings, cream cheese bacon and some spinach or something like that for me!

    Then let me share this as well if you are going to start deboning poultry. I use and recommend both a Victorinox 3" poultry knife and a Victorinox semi-flexible 5 inch boning knife. The flexible is to flimsy and the stiff is well, to stiff. I like the semi-flexible. These 2 knives alone will cover any poultry deboning operation that you ever attempt. They have little peer in this arena. They will almost debone poultry for you. I highly recommend that you purchase and use both. Just thought I would share this as well.

    Just for clarification: Not a breaking knife. A boning knife. There is a huge difference in the two knives.

    @SGH, man great minds think alike!! haha, I definitely need some good knives, I was trimming a brisket about an hour ago for tomorrow, and laughing at how I had to saw at it with a lame old knife, so I said screw it, it's a flat and I like fat! I am shopping for knives next week, thanks for the suggestion on Victorinox, how was the price?

    You can get both of those 2 knives for less than 40 bucks. For trimming raw brisket I use and recommend a Victorinox 8" breaking knife.
