Venison Neck Roasts Recipe/ Brine or not

[azbohunter]

I have a large venison neck roast that is thawing and I really want to smoke. Looking for help and do I brine or rub only? Have done a lot of searches without finding what I was looking for.

Venison neck roast, this would be a first for me. However, I have done venison before, and I'm just thinking rubbing it.
Wish I could be more help, good luck

I read a post somewhere a couple days ago where someone had done one with Lipton Onion soup mix as a rub, and then smoked it a few hours, had it a pan and added some liquid, wrapped it and back in a few hours then pulled it. Can't find it for the life of me :(

No brine. Onion soup mix... yes. I have a recipe for the crock pot. If interested pm me.

I am doing the smoker but wouldn't mind seeing your recipe for crock pot.

I decided I am going to try this recipe and see what happens. Neck should work as well as a shoulder I would think. I will smoke it a few hours first and then do the recipe. I will post the results and some pictures hopefully!
