Two things--leave out the celery and onion until the last hour. They will
make the stock bitter in 6-8 hours.

And--you must be kidding about cooking the meat for 6-8 hours then using it
for anything but dog food, right?

Any meat you want to eat or use in the soup needs to come out after maybe
half an hour.
