Simple question. Can coon fat be rendered down like bear fat?

while I have never tried it on a coon , it works with every other kind of fat I can think of , duck , goose , chicken , deer , bear , beef , pig

when I par boiled a coon to get the fat off it comes to the top of the water

should work

you going to make a new brand of patch lube ? "Bandit Lube"

Yes. I use it for oiling leather. Mine is semi liquid.

I want to do something productive with the little trash pandas this year.

Yes

Looks like I'll be digging out the wife's good pot.

Should I leave the kitchen windows open?

For God's sake,don't do what I once did,throw a bunch of it into a woodstove

Sounds like a new spin on a grease fire.

I was going to mention that I used my coon scrapings as a firestarter in my outdoor wood stove. They're very volatile; as flammable as kerosene.

Could be the new whale oil , you might be bottling it and selling it for big money and create a new coon market


if your wife has a Le Creuset that would be the pan to use for sure , good even heating https://www.amazon.com/Creuset-Sign...amp;refRID=693A3QEB4J41E4G2TNB2&th=1

Coon fat has been a staple fuel in our furshed woodstove for years. Nothing gets the temp up on a cold day like a big chunk of coon fat. It can also be rendered down to and made into candles. Makes a pretty nice little grease candle.

People will smell the smoke from your stove and think there's a kentucky chicken joint somewhere nearby.

What’s the candle smell like? Rabies?

Did that once and thought the stove was going to explode. But.... As Boco said
.. Outside smelled like KFC.

Does it go rancid?

Yup no rabies. Smells pretty good. Like greasy food cooking. It'll make a guy hungry when he's been too long in the fur shed lol

I know a guy that used it as patch lube. He said it worked good. My father in law said they used possum fat in the rear end of their model A. "Motor oil is motor oil."

Hasn't yet. I'm about to make some more.

iv thrown small chunks in the stove but iv heard if you burn too much at once you can warp your woodstove. My neighbor throws them in his chicken pen and they pick the fat clean!

It's like napalm.When I was young and didn't know any better I put a bunch of news papers Id laid on the floor of our back shed,which was connected to our house,to catch the coon fat as I fleshed,I don't know how many I fleshed before I got the bright idea of throwing everything in the wood stove.I swore the stove was going to blow,I was trying to think of excuses to explain how the house burnt to the ground.I never did that again.
