I am fortunate to have a reasonably easy supply of Goats on the property , but unfortunate in that I don't have a freezer as I am off grid.
Thinking of smoking some up to preserve it a bit.
Anyone tried it ? Suggestions gratefully recieved

Loads and loads and loads of goat salami?
I have a fair few 30cal tracer here?
I would be looking at drying and jerky type things with maybe a cold smoke.
I am sure it can be smoked, and dried/jerky. perhaps also brined and pickled.
Must be sum info about, its likely, the most eaten meat in the world, thought not in NZ.
let us know how you get on, I have thought about shooting a young goat, and trying to process the meat, several times.
You might struggle to roll a goat up in a Zig Zag, lighting it might be somewhat of an issue too :)
more seriously though
What about homemade-venison-bresaola but use goat in place of the venni

We lived off the grid back in the day ........ didn't get electricity from the grid until 1972.
Only ran the generator when you had too.
Our fridge ran on kerosene.
Did a quick search for you and wadda you know.
A 70L freezer that runs on LPG/12v/240v and readily available in NZ.

First one I stumbled across
118L 2DOOR 12V/24V FRIDGE/FREEZER DC COMPRESSOR | Trade Me
And even if you went 240v you could go inverter off 12v or run genny.
We ran a genny like mine on a chest freezer in the middle of summer for four days and froze about 20 kilos of fillets plus constant opening and closing to stick another dozen beers in and didnt even use a tank of petrol.
if you do buy something then make sure "free delivery is included" would be good entertainment watching "Smith City" try and get their delivery van to your house.
Ok let me know when you want my true initial reaction to seeing a thread titled 'smoking a goat'
Being off-grid in a sunny part of NZ, this might sort your refrigeration needs: http://www.free-energy-info.com/P13.pdf
I guess I really need to work out what I have available from the current (excuse pun) setup, and get someone who knows what they are doing to work out what I can potentially run from the batterys/solar panels.
Hi there, I have a three way freezer you can have. it's 120w and 39 liters, it looks like you would have to wire up the 12v plug but looks pretty simple. A small panel and a decent battery should keep it going with all the sunshine hours you get in Nelson(Winter?) If you want it I'm in Buller and could probably drop it off for some gas money.
Cheers.
You've been in the south island 5 minutes and you're smoking goats already. A disgusting southern habit. Next will be sheep, cousins etc...
If you have an endless supply why do you need a fridge? Get a meat safe and only shoot what you can eat :)
You could try pickling them first.
