Smoked Tongue

Hope this helps a little

Thanks Tom! I think I will try this one! Sounds like a winner

If you search for tongue posts by prisonchef I think you'll find some good ideas. He had a German style process that was very good.

I've never tried to smoke a tongue but my wife cooks it a lot.

She swears by the fact that after you've simmered it, you must immediately take the skin off while it is hot or you will lose a lot of the meat and have a tough time of it.

She wears rubber gloves to do the job.

Thanks for the advice.
They are now skinned and soaking in a salt/sugar brine till morning. I will be smoking them with a pair of venison tenderloins brined in tenderquick and some fresh kielbasa nad german potato sausage.
Might as well get by woodsmokes worth. Lol

I love tongue but I've never smoked it. Love to make sammich's out of it.. with a lot of good ground mustard and a bit of horse radish.

However, I've really slowed down on it because it is unbeliveably high in FAT. Hard to believe that something that gets so much exercise is so high in fat. I've heard it is over 70% fat.. but that may be wrong... Now that it's been brought up here I tried to find something on the web about it and Wikipedia said it was high.. but I haven't found anything else. Does Wikipedia have any reliabilty?

Edit.. I guess it is high.. look at this AND.. look at the cholestrol cound.. WOW!!!
