Making Tallow

[Kurt]

Kurt, What do you think your rendered buffalo fat cake weighs? Just curious, but it looks heavier than it probably really is. I have several lubes that I use rendered deer fat in, and I like the way they perform compared to the ones that don't have the deer fat in them. Deer that live around irrigated corn fields really can "pork up."

I don't know what it weighs. That Cake is 3"x10" after working it twice. I have it working now again to get it a little dryer and harder so I loose a little more bulk when I get done with it.
Straight Deer tallow alone does not stay in the lube grooves to well. I cut it with Vaseline to keep in the grooves. Works great for lube cookies. I use it straight when I can.
