Smoked the last of the woodies in the freezer and a small venison roast for the games today.

Do you smoke the venison roast? How do you make your venison roast?

 

[Charleston Treeman]

Yes the roast was smoked. Brined it for 24 hours before rubbing it down with a spice mixture then basting with a 50/50 mix of Apple cider vinegar and Apple juice until I got an internal temp of 140.

A master chef indeed. I'm not a big football fan, but what's your favorite team? Panthers? Penn State is doing well this year.

CT...How bout sharing that woodie recipe. Do you skin the ducks after harvest or just remove the feathers? I've never smoked a duck but I'm game.

The skin stays on. I just pluck them. First is brining
-6 cups of water
-1/2 cup of kosher salt
-1/2 cup of brown sugar
-cayenne pepper to taste
-2 crushed bay leaves
-tablespoon Italian seasoning
Just put it all in a pot and bring to a boil to release the herbs and insure all the salt and sugar are incorporated. Add ice afterwards to bring the mixture to room temp or below.
I usually do this on a thursday evening with plans to smoke them on saturday. On friday evening I change out the brine mixture they are soaking in. Saturday morning I take them out and pat dry. Rub a mix of kosher salt, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and a little powdered thyme. Rub goes everywhere, even in the cavity. I smoke them between 180 and 200 on a mix of apple wood and oak until the center of the breast is 165.
This is a bastardization of a recipe I found in an old DU magazine that was in my friends hunt camp bathroom back in the 90s. I don't remember everything that was in it but this is close. I'll also add that this is the only way I can get my wife to eat duck. She says its too "gamey", but she loves it this way.
