Venison

[Guest]

Has anyone tried smoking a venison roast? I've done ribs that came out great, but the low fat content of the roast made it come out dry even after a marinade.

Hi Chris....

Most game is much too lean for slow smoking. Better to cook over high heat...grilling in other words.

I have wrapped venison in bacon and also used some brisket fat, but that will not help the inside meat.

High and fast is the way to go.

i have smoked venison after soaking in pickle brine for 24 hrs. i heard a friend mention earlier this evening that it was better than candy. the roasts were trimmed to the point where there was only red meat. lid temp. was 250 i cooked to int. temp. of 150. i used brine recipe from weber cookbook
