Deer meat ready, How long to cook?

Unknown

I have some deer tenderloins and roasts totaling about 5lbs. They're already seasoned but I dont know how long they will take. Never cooked deer before. Any input?

Robb,
I had some deer tenderloin at one of the eggfests, and it was some of the best meat I have ever tasted. He cooked it much like a pork tenderloin...medium hot fire, direct rotating every 10 minutes or so. By the looks of the rare to medium rare inside, the internal temp was probably 125-130 tops. Wow it was tender tasty. I am not an expert by any means on cooking venison, but I bet if it was cooked to medium it would not have been nearly as good.[p]The other "roasts" you are talking about, do you know what part of the animal they are from? That info might help entice further thoughts from those around here who really know their game cooking.[p]deers. beers.

Venison is really lean, Robb, so you want to cook it quickly. I cook mine at 350° indirect for roasts and grill loin steaks at slightly higher temps, but not quite as high as I do steaks. Let us know how it goes.[p]Jim

Robb,[p]I just cooked a 6lb hind quarter on the egg at 325deg until internal temp was 145deg. I will go to 150 next time, it was slightly more pink than I care for.[p]I used fire bricks to deflect the heat and set a drip pan on those. Then on a raised grid set the roast. Also I poured a little coka-cola in the drip pan for added flavor. Not really sure if it did much though.
