Venison roast and backstrap

[irishteabear]

Finally had a chance to do some smoking today so I thawed the roast and backstrap I had gotten a couple of weeks ago. The roast was rubbed with evoo and my rub, wrapped with bacon. The backstrap got evoo and a mix of cbp, kosher salt, granulated garlic and granulated onion and wrapped with bacon. There was a small piece I had put with the roast and decided to do that as a sample so I used evoo and my rub on it, wrapped that with bacon as well. The roast went in first, next came the sample and the backstrap. Smoked them at 225 or so and used oak.

Here is the roast and backstrap, all smoked and ready to wrap in foil and a towel and rest in the cooler for a while.



Didn't even get a chance to take a pic of the sample. Vultures were hovering as it was being sliced, I snagged the first piece and the rest vanished before my eyes. It was pronounced awesome by all. I might be able to post sliced pics later if I'm real lucky.

I sliced both the roast and the backstrap and they seem to be disappearing before my eyes. Pieces are missing every time someone walks by.
