Well I had asked a couple people on here about smoking this deer ham with it being a very lean meat. Several people said to wrap it with bacon to keep it from drying out. Well I didn't do any of that. I had to try something different. The way I did it was I soaked it in a brine for about 8 days in the fridge and last night I took it out of the brine and sprinkled it down with my rub and let it sit over night in the fridge. I put it on the smoker this morning about 7:00am (wife told me I was CRAZY cause I was lighting charcoal at 6:00) and the only thing I did was flip it about every hour and mop both sides generously with a melted butter and apple juice mixture. I pulled it off about 2:30 and wrapped in foil. When I cut into this baby, I almost got shot in the face with the juices. Like I said earlier, I have to brag on this one.

Looks like you did real good. If it works for you then I would repeat it over and over again. That's what it is all about. The next time some one asks that question (and you know they will) then tell them what you did.Again that is some good looking venison. Happy Smoking.
