Hi all,
Got given a few brace of pheasant and was just wondering if anyone had tried cold smoking the breasts before, if so would love some tips.

Treat them like duck? eg the first stage of this post:

That is definitely one to try! I love duck breasts!

Coincidentally, I started a couple of duck breasts for a similar recipe yesterday. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm sure pheasant would be good like this too although pheasant breasts are a lot smaller than duck and pheasant is probably more similar to chicken than duck. Probbq, I would wager that it would be best to keep the skin on the pheasant breasts for this which is a bit of a pain since pheasant skin is so thin and tears very easily when plucking. Try to take no more than 2-3 feathers each pluck and you should be OK.

Good luck

Ryan
