Got a nice day to work on some projects. In this video, I smoke a couple of deer skins. Smoking brain tanned deer hides water proofs them. The chemicals in the smoking process bind with the softened skin fibers, coating them and protecting them from gluing themselves back together. Volume of smoke is key, you do not want a little trickle of smoke. Using the method I show in this video, depth of hole is key. You want a very deep hole to preserve all the hot coals and give yourself room to fill the upper portion with punk wood. Leave a space from the top of the punk wood to the top of the hole. This space serves as a buffer to protect your hides in case the punk wood flares up.
