Good clean coon fat rendered makes a fine cooking oil.

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. Coon fat gums up the screen on your cap pretty good. Does the same with the inner pipe. It's weird. It looks like a ton of black spiderwebs all over the place. Burns like crazy though....Just not a fan of cleaning the cap off all the time.

Good clean coon fat rendered makes a fine cooking oil. Barf If you have not tried it, don't knock it. Had a fella render some at the NC Convention a couple years ago. And, yes, there were a lot of skeptics in the crowd. After he strained it, he used it to pan fry up some bobcat rear quarter steaks. He also served the cracklings to anyone who wanted to try them while they lasted which was not long at all. The bobcat fried in the coon grease did not last long either. The skeptics who had an open mind about it, learned something that day.

Looks like I'll be digging out the wife's good pot. Should I leave the kitchen windows open? If you use her real good pots, you might want to leave the front door open as that's probably where she is going to throw you out of.

Getting thrown out would be the least painful outcome I can imagine from that. She wouldn't kill me either, that would be too quick.

Honestly, once it's rendered, it just smells like any cooking oil. But I would render it outside over a fire, and not in my wife's good cookware, because I like living.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
