I have never smoked Venison before, but there has to be a first time for everything! I raided moms freezer and cleaned out some "old meat" that was taking up space and ended up with some pretty nice stuff that I plan on smoking for the Playoff game tomorrow. One of the things is about a 4 pound venison ham that I am currently brining.
The brine I am using is:
1 gallon water
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup Norris select syrup
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup Tony's
Tomorrow morning I will wake up and fire up "Puff the Magic Dragon" and get my meat out and ready to go. I plan on rubbing the Ham with Onion powder, garlic powder, a tad of cumin, and then wrapping it in bacon. Any other spices yall think I should toss in for good measure?? Hopefully I can get this thing done in under 6 hours so we can eat for the Saints game!
I will try to update as I go and if LUCKY, I will finally figure out how to get pictures off my cell phone and onto the computer so yall can smoke along with me. Silly me has a Razr v3c which is different than a v3, so there is some driver issue or something that locks up when I try to transfer. Perhaps I will get it figured out by tomorrow. Actually, my buddy is coming over to smoke with me and he is bringing his 15 y/o kid!! I will just hand it to him and let him deal with it!!
WHO DAT!! WHO DAT!! Who dat say dey gone beat dem Saints!!
