Smoked Rabbit

06-12-2011, 06:41 PM

Today I smoked my 1st rabbit. It was delicious. After some research I also learned that rabbit is VERY healthy. Here is a pic.

I used salt and pepper, Italian dressing with a touch of Steak Sprinkle at the end of the cook sold at www.texasbbqrub.com
Smoked on the Traeger.

Just under 3 hours.

Interesting. I may have to try this soon.

There is so little fat on rabbits did this make the meat dry out at all in the smoker? I love to braise them for about an hour and a half they come out nice and tender and are great.

It was not dry at all. I plan on doing another one in the coming weeks, might tweek my recipe a bit and play around with it. Maybe I will braise my next one.

Must be from all the chewing. That's some stringy 5hit.

I smoked a squirrel once. No rabbits yet.
