Hello Everyone
Yesterday I did an Elk roast I smoked it with hickory well I tried to but it did not get to smokey I used some of Down Yonder BBQ cracked pepper and garlic rub on the roast
I placed into the smoker that was at 225 and added a pan of damp hickory pellets they were left out on the porch not in the rain but close enough to soak up moisture so they where basically mush
I let the roast cook for 2 hours then I checked temp on the roast it said 130 so I wrapped the roast in foil and went into the house for 30 min came back out and the temp said 162 I removed the thermometer and checked in another part of the roast it read 152
I removed the roast and placed into a cooler to rest I let it rest for 1 1/2 hours then sliced and ate it was Awesome

Well the cook may not have went as planned but that said, that is one awesome looking Elk roast and I wouldn't kick one piece of that off my plate. I don't get to eat elk that often but when I do it's always an amazing treat. Nicely done! :thumb: And look, it has a decent smoke ring...

Well it looked pretty good to me.

You could try lowering the temp to about 212 for a little longer of a smoke time next time and it should help pick up a bit more. Probably another half hour or so before foiling.

Nicely done sir. Not often I get to sample some Elk, but when I do, it's always a treat. That roast looks perfect :thumb:
