What is coon fat good for? How should I render it?

I throw a handful in my woodstove when im working in the shed. Dont use too much or youll burn your shed down. great stove fuel.

makes a nice soap

Soap or soup?

You render it like all fats and lards, in pieces, over very low heat, like you cook bacon, so you do not burn it, or it will have a scorched scent to it.

You can use it for anything you want from soap, to cooking, to medicinal body rubs. That is what pioneers used from bear to skunk fat before Vicks came along.

..or a lure base.

What bacatraper said. Gets the shed warm real quick.

Great to render down for the above mentioned always thought about using it for diesel fuel.
