I had some venison and backstraps in the freezer, and now I have three more packs. My son has had good luck this year.
I started by trimming all the silver skin. I rubbed them in olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and Dizzy Pig's Red Eye Express. I also wrapped them in apple wood bacon. I cooked these at around 350 dome. It took about 45 minutes. I pulled them at 145.
I used hickory for smoke and put my plate setter in legs up.
I had two hungry kids sitting by the fire while I was cooking.
I didn't get any plated pics, but I did get this one of the "after".
They turned out very nice. I will be doing this again soon.

@johnkitchens-Looks like a winner to me. I got to ask. Which way do you like it best. Grilled or fryed?

I appreciate that @VC_Outlaw. More late nights and weekends than I care to remember, but not so much anymore. Now I only work crazy hours if I have to. I have worked 16 hours a day every day for a week before. The last time I had a crazy week like that I came in at 5AM on a Friday morning and didn't go home until around midnight. I came back in at 5AM on Saturday morning and didn't go back home until 2AM on Sunday morning!VC_Outlaw said:Looks great, backstraps wrapped in bacon make for a nice treat.

Looks like a lot of late nights in the officeI came back in at 7AM that Sunday morning and worked until around 1AM that Monday morning.Needless to say I had a Monday AM deadline to meet, and I met it! I told my wife right then that I didn't know if I could survive another week like that.Louisville, GA - 2 Large BGE's -

Try cooking some rubbed with your favorite steak seasoning and then grilled hot a fast. Skip the bacon.
