    Here is some I did back in December at work. You can look through it and get some general info. Hope it helps and wish you good luck.

    Wow!   How was everything?
    It was a over whelming success. I took the time to inject everything with butter to keep it from drying out. Even then smoking venison shoulders can be a catastrophe if you don't monitor it real close. I pulled the shoulders and forearm at 138 internal, the hams at 145 internal and the loins at 150. I know that probably sounds high for the loins but they were heavily stuffed with cheese, peppers and raw bacon and then wrapped entirely in bacon. It worked out very well, especially to be cooking at work with limited access to stuff. If time would have permitted, I would have done the front shoulders a little different but all went very well.

  • Nicely done! How was it? I've done some small roasts before and over cooked them, venison is tricky.

    Turned out great!!!! Very tender!! Great smoke ring, the bacon helped to keep it moist and added flavour!! Could passed it off as beef, no wild taste at all!! Can't wait to do it again!!!
