Bear grease
« on: August 21, 2025, 08:05:07 PM »
Something we like to do when we get a bear that’s not on fish is to render down the fat. Takes a little work but feels good to use everything and makes for great gifts. Thought I’d share some pics of the one I just got. Ended up with about 35 pints on this bear.

Solid work!

Very nice work.

On another note -  that looks like an outstanding setup/space you have for meat processing. We might have to get another thread going with people's setups. With a shop in my 3-5 year plans, I'm starting to compile ideas. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

I cut meat for a lot of years in the garage on a collapsible table or in the kitchen. When I bought my new place, I turned part of the shop into a butcher shop also built a walk-in cooler. Absolutely love it and use the crap out of it.

Do you pressure can that, or does the heat differential seal the pop top?

There are a ton of uses for it, from baking to boot grease
