Smoked Rabbit?

Smoking Terrapin · Jul 1, 2013

Anyone ever smoked rabbit? I have some garden pests that are asking for it.

To lean for smoking, Grill, Deep fry, or Stew

Yeah, thought it might get tough.

I have smoked it, not great, I agree with Bludawg. Duck was pretty good though.

What if you wrap it in bacon?

JohnHB · Jul 1, 2013

A touch of cold smoking could give it flavour. Probably worth an experiment!!!

.....ahhhh, anything with bacon!

If I do smoke it, I will wrap it in bacon.

Oh, NO! PETER!!!

If I tried it I would probably brine in over night, then wrap it after it got a decent color to it. I also like the idea about the bacon, EVERYTHING'S better in bacon!!!!!

I was always told you shouldn't eat wild rabbit until after a couple hard freezes as the livers have a parasite. Don't know for positive if it's true or not.

Brother Kazion raises them and occasionally asks me to smoke off a couple. Brined over night, and basted with seasoned EVOO.

Not sure if I would eat the rabbits in my back yard... St. Louis city isn't the most clean place in the world

Just stuff the rabbit into a huge fatty for smoking. Done and done! Cut end off the fatty and you have the rabbit coming out of the rabbit hole for dinner.

Down in we smoke them but then use them as ingredients in other dishes. Smoked rabbit gumbo for instance is really good.

Someone do this. I think it would be fine. They are lean, but so is pork loin, chicken breast, turkey, etc. A brine would probably help keep some moisture in. I am literally living in bunny country... they are taunting me.

I'd treat it like white meat chicken. Indirect to 155 deg.

Here is a rabbit cook I did last fall, but be forewarned mine was not the back yard variety, but was raised for meat. Smoked for a bit, cloaked in bacon, then braised with veggies under foil.
