I will rephrase my post as you blokes probably smoke your meat in a totally different way to us in Australia, Can you tell me your processes of smoking your meat please?

Cheers mate, in QLD were it is generally hot we only do our smoking in winter and use sawdust from Ironbark trees. Useally the smokehouse is just a small tin shed.
Hopefully will do some bacon this year and try a venison haunch too.

cut a chunk off and pop it in the freezer till firm (not hard!),about 45 ,then it will be a lot easier to slice,when i used to make the stuff comercially we used the same tecknique even with a slicing machine.
