    Going to load up the chest freezer with gallon jugs of water instead of bags of ice, also going to brush the inner loins and backstrap with honey to seal them off for dry aging for 10-14 days. Used bags of ice in the past but trying to keep it dryer this year and the honey will be a seal instead of having to trim off what gets dry. Will have to include some pics of the process espically if it goes well.

    Covey suggested using honey last year as a sealer it should work.
