Started with 2 venison brackstraps - the sliver skin removed.

Venison that I rubbed with garlic olive oil and seasoned with Tatonka Dust and a little Canadian Steak Seasoning.

Onto the top shelf of the Yoder with just the fan running to help move the smoke along.  The tube smoker filled with Hickory pellets with a nice smoke rolling along the venison.  Smoked for an hour with no heat.

Fired up the Yoder to 500° and threw the venison on to the grill grates when they were nice and hot.

And last but not least the lobster tails - seasoned with melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and some sea salt.  While the lobster was cooking I spooned over some melted butter.

That looks great! You cut your backstrap exactly like I do! But never thought of the lobster. Yum Yum!

Too bad deer weren't just made of all 'backstraps' :)  Looks great.

Very nice job. I have one last strap in the freezer and I think its time for it to come out. My favorite piece of meat off deer is the Inner loins. They aways hit the cast iron with butter, ton of garlic, salt and pepper before the rest of the deer is processed. One night last year I had to cut up 6 deer, lets say we ate very well that night.

I like my deer dead, just kidding. Thats a mighty fine chow ya got there
