Growing up in Wisconsin hunting and the outdoors has always been a way of life. My wife recently purchased an electric smoker (Mastrbuilt)for my birthday and have been practicing mostly with chicken, Turkey, pork and a few beef roasts. Today I'm going to try venison back strapsfor the first time. I started yesterday rinsing then slicing about 1/3 of the way through in 1 inch increments then adding a rub. I then slathered the entire back straps in A-1 steak sauce and let it marinate over night. Will be setting my smoker to 250 and looking for an internal temp. of 145. Going to use cherry and hickory . I'll keep you posted.

Badgersmoke,

As I sit here watching our beloved Badgers lay a beat down on our neighbors to the south, I say welcome to the group. I guarantee you will be addicted in no time. What part of the great Sconie are ya from?

The back straps turned out well. I would recommend at least with the electric smoker to turn the temp down to 220. The internal temperature reached 150 by the time I checked it at 1.25 hrs. So I don't think it got as much smoke as I would like. Still had good flavor and plenty moist. I also peeled and chunked some potatoes with onions and butter and put them on the top rack which always turn out well.

Badger, glad to here they turned out. But, as is often said here on the forums if there's no q view it never happened. Would love to see pics of the smoke.

Also, great to hear from you PABEEF. It's great to know there are more people that love this site from our great state than me.
