Smoked venison

After a longish thought I decided to buy an affordable smoker for salmon and venison. At it really has been a great buy. I thought that deer and moose meat are too dry to be smoked but no. I have tried it a few times in the last couple of weeks and the results with it are great.





Very delicious. How much do you fellow hunters use smokers to venison?
Here's a few pictures of moose and white tail venison to be smoked.

I haven’t tried to smoke venison since then so I don’t have any tips but it looks like you have it under control anyway.
Your dog looks pissed, maybe you should share with him.

My daughter smokes venison shoulders by basting the meat with ranch dressing, of all things, and using a dry rub she makes, over the ranch. Anyone who has attended the shoot we host every year can testify that it's delicious. The trick to smoking deer or other very lean meat is to keep the temperature low and possibly use a bacon wrap or some other type of fatty meat that renders out and keeps the main course moist. "Medium-rare" is the best stopping point, and it takes some experimentation with temperature and cooking time to get it right.

I seasoned them night before with rock salt and dry rub.
