Took my first stab at smoking a couple venison roasts at my buddies camp this weekend. Reviews were all glowing..."best deer ever, would never guess it was deer, etc..", bear in mind, I don't think I was amongst a discerning a crowd as I have found here, but here is the rundown.
Brined them overnight (guessing at amts. Since I didn't think to measure while making);
1.5 cups water
2tbs table salt
2tbs dark mustard
1/2 can miller lite
1 tbsp of Jeffs rub
1 tsp pepper
Mix in a zip lock and refridge.
Next afternoon(when we got to camp);
-Pat/wring out the roasts as much as possible
-slather both roasts in dark mustard
-roll roast #1 in kosher salt
-add coarse ground black&white pepper
-added some unground sea salt for texture (kind of a waste)
-made a Bacon weave "helmet" from fresh homemade Bacon sliced about 1/8, maybe more.
Roast #2
-slather in brown mustard
-coat with jeffs rub
-massage it in(with love)
- add Bacon weave helmet with thick fresh homemade Bacon
-cover again with rub.
Cooked both at about 200f in my modified LBC till 165f IT. Used two pans of chips, on at begining, one at end.
Will add some q-view in a few, tapatalk not working.
