I was given a smoker years ago and as of right now I have a rear deer leg on the smoker. Put it in around 5 pm and it is still on at 9:45 so in the near future I should if all work out be pulling it out. Have cut off a little to test and boy does it taste good

If you like that you will also enjoy smoking turkey after putting it in a brine and also fish are good.

I have trouble keeping my pipe lit when I smoke meat. Seriously though, smoked venison sounds like it would be very good.

Well not sure if this is good or bad but the neighbor and his son stopped by and I cut off a little bit of meat and the guys son said dad are we going to eat here tonight. LOL Yep they both said it was good

I smoke alot of meat,But I learned a few things the hard way.One is that I love to see ALOT of smoke billowing out of smoker or grill,thats not always a good thing,I've ruined a few pieces of meat by oversmoking. Have fun and send me a sandwich. Mike

I have been smoking stuff for years, mostly deer and fish, but have also done chicken and a beaver... yeah, I did!
The first time I ever tried smoking I used green Hickory shavings to smoke about 40 lbs of salmon.... made the meat taste so badly of creosote, I could not eat it. Lesson learned.
I have tried a lot of different wood but have settled on Black Cherry.
My wife's father often cold smoked trout. The fish came out like jerkey and was excellent. I have never been able to duplicate his fish.
I don't soak the meat in brine very long... maybe 15 minutes and use Maple Syrup for a sweetener.(we have lots)

Add just a bit more fat to the pipe mix, improves the flavor also.

One of my best friends and neighbor's smokes a bunch of meat. The brine mix and the amount of smoke makes a big difference in the out come. Smoked Venison ham/hind qtr is just about as good as it gets. He smoked a qtr from my sons first deer last yr. It was the best venison we ever had. Might have been the smoke or the fact its a first deer. He does lots of deer, turkey, Goose, etc. He was born about 200 yrs too late. It always smells great when you stop by his place. Sit on his porch, have a cold beverage, smell the smoke and share a story.

Oh yea, I smoke a lot of wild game, deer, elk, bear, turkey, pheasant and fish, salmon, trout, halibut, sturgeon. My smoker is a small sheet metal lined building and the fire pit is seperate. Have you ever smoked hard boiled eggs? cheese? GOOD stuff. I like apple, prune and cherry wood....James

Hello old,
Been smok cooking for many moons. Here is the setup.
Electric element from a washer to get the fire started, and use bark free wood. If you like it real smoky try some green wood, but be prepared,
it will be real smokey.
Guido.

I've been doing this for a couple years now. I make venison Jerky. We eat it up so fast I have to make it almost every weekend. I use apple wood and sassafras for the most part. Never tried black cherry, but I have lots of it. I usually leave the jerky in there for 6 hours, then two hours on low in the oven to finish it off.
