got venny

anyone have any tips on smoking high speed beef (venison)? i know how easy it can overdry n would hate to ruin a good piece of meat.

I always marinade venison for a while before smoke. Once I put the meat in the smoke, I keep the marinade close by. About once an hour I take the meat and soak it back in the marinade for a minute and back in the smoke. This helps me keep the venison juicy and also adds a great sticky glaze over the meat that also holds in the juices. Also depending on what I am going to do with the meat afterwards, I may even put the meat in the marinade and all of it back in the smoker or just on the grill. Let the cooked meat simmer in there for a few minutes and its awesome. If the meat is to be sliced up for serving, I will slice it and then simmer it in the marinade. Options are endless.
