Smoking venison roast

[METALHEAD]

Ive smoked chicken and ribs but never venison roasts. I know the stuff can get dry and tough because of its lack of fat. Does anyone have any successful recipes? Particularly ones which help increase fat/moisture?

no idea but wrapping anything in bacon works

[METALHEAD]

I was considering it. I may just wing it. Brine, bacon stuffed, bacon wrapped and dry rubbed and see what happens. Maybe foil wrap like 1-2-3 ribs.

Could probably only get it done at the processor and not a butcher, but next time I would ask if he can mix up some pork or beef fat into the venison. Probably make some good burgers or meatloaf.

Venison Roast. I have the butcher slice up the roast into 1" thick steaks. Works great. Better than dealing with a roast that will feed 5 people.

I still can't figure why anyone would ruin perfectly lean venison with pork fat or beef fat. I eat venison chop meat, nothing added. It's fine.

I marinate it, preferably using stubbs texas butter injectable marinade, give the outside a quick sear in a pan, ideally in a mix of equal parts butter, bacon grease, and marrow, then slow cook it in the oven, raised on a wire rack, in a pan with an inch or so of equal parts stubbs texas butter and water (not high enough to contact the roast) and i tent it in foil with a small vent. Size of the roast/time in the oven, add more stubbs/water as needed.
