Venison Neck Roast done in my MES 30" at 225° with Hickory chips. Simple rub of kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, torbinado sugar, paprika, dry mustard. Came out fantastic at an internal temp of 125° let it rest and then sliced it up. Sides are mushrooms (flavored with JD), roasted red skins, and roasted cauliflower. Nice meal for me and the wife.





Thanks for looking

Looks good, How did the roast end up, My friends mom is the only one I have known able to make one taste good and be tender. I have not had a lot of luck. Gave up and now we burger it.
 
I always get the roasts. If you smoke them slowly they come out great. Sometimes they are a little chewy on the outside but the inside is nice and tender. I do hem at 220 to 225 untitled 120 degrees inside temp.

Looks great.

I think I am missing something thou.

The "necks" on deer here aren't that big and have bones in them.

Is this not the actual neck?
 
Yes, the butcher I use bones them out and wraps them in a net. It was a decent size deer.
 
Neck rost is a very nice cut that is all to often overlooked.  I think people get blinded by the backstrap when they start cutting in that area.
 
Looks good. If neck didn't make such incredible chili, I'd be tempted to try it next time I have a deer to butcher. Point!

Same here in TX.  With our hotter climate our deer don't get big in the body/neck like those in cold/colder climates.  I take a number of does and spikes each year and I'm lucky if I get over 95 pounds live weight on 4 year animals.

This was a small Spike at about 130 pounds. This one was so afraid of my hunting skills that it sacrificed itself for the good of the others. I was walking out to my tree stand and it was dead on the path I walk in on about 30 feet from my tree stand.

It was really cold that night morning so it saved me having to sit out there all morning.

Hahahah it's awesome when they make it easy.  I had a doe this past year run and die right on the road to the stand.  We drove up and threw her in the back.  Done!
 
L, That is a great looking smoke ! I used to do neck roasts and now burger them but maybe I should reconsider?
 
That is a nice roast. Looks delicious.
