I just got a Bradley for Christmas and I have a bunch of venison in the freezer and I decided to try curing some of it. 

I used 2 backstraps cut in half each half weighing about 1 lb.

I made a simple dry cure of tenderquick and plain white sugar, rubbed it on, and put it in the fridge for a few days.

I smoked it with maple until they hit 141 deg.

WoW!  It tastes great and was so easy!!  I wish I should have gotten a smoker years ago!!

Mheath,
My friend Smokin Soon beat me to it.  Don't be broadcasting how easy this smoking/curing thing is.  We like our family and friends to think this whole deal is very difficult and must spend HOURS tending to the smoker with drink in hand. ;)  :D

Congrats on your venison backstrap.

You forgot to read the Bradley Smokers Pledge

"We pledge, under the penalty of having our Bradley melt into nothingness, never to tell our OR especially anyone else's adoring and admiring family and friends, the SECRET (the ease) of Bradley Smoking.  We further Pledge to use our Bradleys as often as possible so as to never let our family and friends be without smoked delicacies.  There are just some things that should not be smoked and until we find out what they are, we Pledge to smoke everything we can catch, wrap in bacon, and fit into our Bradleys."
