I built this because
I was tired of the same
problems you have.

Digging through Facebook threads for recipes. Guessing on cure ratios. Doing math every time you scale a batch. Hoping you got the fat percentage right. Writing it all on a napkin and losing it by next season.

No more.

DeepWoodz is the first app built specifically for hunters and home processors who take wild game processing seriously. Proven recipes, precision calculators, locked cure safety, smoke timers, and a community of makers who actually care about the craft.

Every recipe uses percentage-based formulations — the same method used by professional meat plants. Scale to any batch size and the ratios stay perfect. Cure #1 and Cure #2 are locked to USDA-safe levels. No guessing. No risk.

This app is community-driven. I loaded it with recipes to get things started, but DeepWoodz is built to grow with you. Share your go-to recipes, save what worked, track what didn't, and help build the biggest wild game processing library in one place.

Built by a hunter and veteran in Wisconsin.

One man. One mission. No corporate backing, no investors — just a guy who got tired of not having the right tool and decided to build it himself.

The Library

A library that keeps growing

Snack sticks, summer sausage, bratwurst, jerky, bacon, hot dogs, kielbasa, andouille and more, across 13 categories. Every one built on percentage-based formulations — the same method professional meat plants use.

  • A different Recipe of the Day on your home screen
  • Favorite the ones that worked so you're not hunting next fall
  • Search the whole catalog in seconds

Precision Scaling

Every recipe scales to your batch

Enter how much meat you have. Every ingredient recalculates instantly, down to the gram. Two pounds of venison or fifty, the ratios stay exactly right.

  • Pounds, kilograms or imperial fractions — switch anytime
  • Save a custom batch size and it's there next time
  • Auto-build a shopping list from any recipe at your batch size

Food Safety

The cure math is locked safe

Cure #1 and Cure #2 are locked to USDA-safe levels and cannot be edited. When you're working with nitrites, precision isn't a preference — it's the whole job.

  • 0.25% · 156 ppm, scaled to your exact weight
  • EQ Bacon Cure calculator for equilibrium curing by percentage
  • Every recipe tells you which cure it needs, and why
The EQ Bacon Cure calculator: salt moved from 2.0% to 2.4% while Cure #1 stays locked at 0.25%, shown in ounces and grams

Wet Brine Calculator

Thirteen brines, any weight

Pick what you're brining and the whole thing rewrites — water, salt, sugar, cure where it's needed, and the spice list that actually belongs in that brine.

  • Venison, poultry, brisket, salmon, pastrami, jerky and more
  • Cure appears only in the brines that call for it, at the safe rate
  • Cups and ounces, or litres and grams — your call

Cost & Margin

Know your numbers before you sell

Put in what your meat, casings, seasoning and packaging cost. Get your true cost per pound and the margin on a suggested price, before a single stick leaves the smoker.

  • Cost per pound, per ounce or per kilo
  • Suggested retail and the margin it actually earns you

Meat Ratio Calculator

Hit the ratio the recipe wants

Texture and bind come down to lean-to-fat. Set the ratio, enter your batch, and it tells you exactly how many pounds of each to put on the scale.

  • Presets for 90/10, 80/20, 70/30 and 60/40, or drag anywhere between
  • The lean and fat bar moves with it, so you can see the blend
  • Pounds or kilograms
The Meat Ratio calculator moving from 90/10 to 60/40 on a 25 lb batch, then rescaling to 40

Stuffing Yield Calculator

Order the right amount of casing

The same 25 lb batch needs 218 feet of snack stick casing or 31 feet of summer sausage casing. Pick the size you're stuffing and find out before you order, not after.

  • Ten casing sizes, 19 mm snack sticks up to 100 mm bologna
  • Exact need, plus 15% for breakage and practice
  • Feet and metres together

Smoke & Record

Run the smoke, then remember it

Multi-stage sessions with a temperature step for each phase, and notifications when it's time to move. Then a record of what you actually did, so the good batch isn't a one-off.

  • Pause, resume or skip stages mid-cook
  • Save a program — a 6-stage snack stick run loads with one tap
  • Smoke Log: temps, wood, internal temps, notes
  • Batch History: every batch you've made, and how it went
The multi-stage smoke timer

Community

Built with the people using it

Share what you made, ask the question you'd otherwise post to a Facebook thread, and see what other makers are pulling off their smokers.

  • Submit your own recipes — your name stays on them
  • Your formulations get the same scaling and cure tools as ours
  • Achievements track your progress from first batch onward
