WOW 30 pucks(10hrs), that is a lot of smoke. Looks real tasty. How is the smoke flavour?
How many Elks is that? Geez that's some meat!

Don't be a tease. Cough up that recipe.
Great looking hunks of meat.
What was the flavor profile like? Did you still have plenty of pure meat flavor?
Good luck and long smokes,

I know it sounds like alot of smoke, but it doesn't overpower, the flavour is phenomenal!!
That was about 18 lbs of elk, put them into the oven after 10 hours, just to bring the IT up slightly. Smoked them at 160* the whole time.
Would you care to divulge that brine recipe, Huntin?
Mrs
I've never heard of anyone brining an elk roast before. Please post the recipe!
Good lookin hunks of Elk HF
I do some of the same stuff with deer, not quite as long of smoke though.
