pig ears?

[Snowking]

we skinned 10 pig today and i wondering has any body ever made pig ears for there dog? do you burn the hair off or scrap the hair or can you leave it on and just smoke and then dehydrate them? thanks chad

for one pound of ears,

8 cups of water

1/4 cup of salt

bring water to simmer and add the ears. let simmer for one hour. then remove the ears and let dry on paper towels. get the smoker going with hickory chips [follow direction on package] and get the smoker to 200 deg. this can take up to 6 hrs. check the smoker every two hours to see if everything is going good [heat,chips]. remove the ears when they have the rich dark leathery look and are hard. let cool.

if using charcoal put the ears in indirect heat. i got this from googling smoking pig ears for i have never done this. good luck.

id stay away from the salt brine all together,salt is not good for dogs,

our dog had a bad reaction to a handfull of salted peanuts,both ends,

my 2cents,
