BowEd:
gut......Try freezing the hair on hide after braining.Then thawing and roping.You might like the ease of how much and how soft it gets.
 Great job on that beaver.Nothing like brain tanned smoked leather.

Digital Caveman:
What happens if the brains get on the hair?  How do you smoke a fur?

BowEd:
A little brain solution on the edges of fur is'nt a big deal.Easily washed off with a wet rag.The hide is roped and stretched flesh side every direction against the rope or over a stake of some sort.Smoke a hair on hide flesh side in.

the way I smoked my beaver and rabbit was I taped them in a 5 gallon buck then put my smoke sack to bucket and taped it.. was really quick to set up that way.. I then just tied a rope to handle and hung them over my metal fire bucket.. not sure if that is the way to do it but they worked great, it did dampen the fur side some but dried quickly after wards with no hair loss.. house smelled like smoked backstraps... I love the smell.. daughter not so much LOL.......I'll definitely try that next time ED.. your advice has been top notch every time... gut

Fox:
gut don't you experience problems with lousy skinners from the meat lockers? I have access to lots of hides from Nabors that hunt, but they cut up the hides so bad when I ring them out they turn into shredded hides :-\
