How the heck do you fit a front shoulder in the crockpot? Maybe I need a bigger one

Great question. Not a crock pot. It was just one of those cheap ($17 at Walmart) roaster pans. Conventional oven at 200 for 9 1/2 hrs. It was also a shoulder from a 2 year old doe. I don't shoot those freakishly large deer like you do so I also don't need a Ramsey kitchen to cook them!
I have seen guys do a crock pot though, just knife cut the meat and hack saw the bone for smaller pieces.. This is actually ideal because it lets the bone marrow out and flavors the meat. I did cut one end of mine, but not much, just enough to open the bone.

Agree with Wapsi......the front shoulder is absolutely delicious. I followed Steve Rinella's recipe attached.....the 2 minute video details how.......quick and easy beyond good.https://www.themeateater.com/cook/recipes/bone-in-blade-roast-with-root-vegetables-recipe

Deer Ribs...........delicious............Put them in a presurer cooker for 30 minutes with 15 pounds of pressure. Pull them out and let them cool. They are fully cooked at this point so season them to your taste and put on the grill. Maybe add some pelts to get some good smoke flavor. Add your favorite barbecue once warmed up pull them off and enjoy.

OK, that looks ridiculous!! I would like to see more pics next time you do that, How you actually cut them, how much trimming and I want to see the inside of that meat! You got any more pics?

Not sure if "that looks ridiculous" is a complement of beat down..
Obviously when you skin a deer there is a layer of fat on the ribs. That easily pulls off like a sheet exposing rib meat. There will be a layer of meat then a thin layer of fat then you have the ribs themselves with meat in between. That is what you keep. The pressure cooker does two things makes the meat very tender and turns the fat into fluid. Not all the fat mind you but makes a difference. When you eat the ribs the meat easily separates from the remaining fat. I use a meat saw to cut them into manageable pieces. Sorry I did not take anymore picures this time. I do remember thinking when the old guy showed me this that he was nuts and no way would it be good......well I was very wrong

Reverse seared Hanger Steak! This is a wonderful cut of beef
Beef back ribs
ABT’s (Atomic Buffalo Turds)
Pork Riblets seasoned and smoked for 3 hours then panned up with BBQ sauce, butter, brown sugar and cooked another 2 hours at a higher temp
This restaurant was mentioned several times during Iowa’s best Pork Tenderloin nomination and had to visit. It’s in Jamaica and called ToJo’s bar and grill. It was 95 miles from my place and made from a nice spring Saturday afternoon drive. I predict this place will be in the top 10 in Iowa.

You didn't get lost in that booming metropolis of Jamacia, did you? One of my more favorite places to go and they do a great breakfast also. Makes for a good scooter ride from my house.
