Good morning Bob, Sue and DMC!

We're supposed to get into the 40's today I'll take it!

Hi Debby. We’re supposed to get low 50’s with sunshine in the afternoon but it’s really windy. Maybe I will get motivated to do something

I'll take the solids out at about 8, then let it simmer until 10 and then start canning. I line a colander with a couple layers of cheese cloth and open the spigot and pour it into a 5 gal cooler, then fill the jars from the cooler. If I'm on target I'll get about 80 quarts, but I had the fire a bit hotter than usual last night so I may get less. It'll just have a more intense flavor.

Even a little less than 80 quarts is a lot of stock! How long will that last you guys?

About a year. We use a lot of it. I really need to find someone around here have a steer processed and get some beef bones. I haven't made beef stock in 4 years. Once I get the smoker fixed, I'll be making some pork stock.
