The smoke went great not the game.
My first smoke on new mes 40 with smoking kit from MB. I used #1 ven back strap and a #2.3 beef rump roast. Wanted to start small incase of problems.
Marinated both overnite in montreal steak marinade. Before putting in the smoker I rubbed some lawery's seasoning salt on to both cuts. I wanted to save the juices so I put seperate trays under ea. cut.
Started the cold smoke for 1.5hrs temp hovered at 40o.
Had nice full smoke inside smoker. (Need to enlarge vent)
oops!!
Raised my temps up slowly to reach 220o.
Pulled out the backstrap after reaching internal temp of 132o (4hrs)
Pulled beef at 155o (6hrs)
After the beefroast had its time to mello. I diced them up.
Resisting from taste test. I put each cut into its own broth of beef bullion and drippings.
My wife and a guest will not eat ven so I kept these all seperate.
The ven turned out perfect for me to enhail (yup I sampled).
The beef was excellent itself.
All in all was a great smoke. Some temps along the way with the probes were not correct as I feered.
love this smoker thus far compared to my propane. Until next smoke!
