Smoked Deer Roast & Loin

[ragweed]

Had a challenge this morning cause the air temperature was only 2* F when I started my 6 yr old Black Bradley Smoker.  Fortunately, there was little wind.  I pre-heated for nearly two hours set at 230* F with my trusty brick in the bottom and near boiling water in the pan.

The box made it to 224* F so I started the cook using Pitmaster's Choice pellets in a tube smoker.  Wish Bradley made this flavor of pucks.  Here's the meat after an overnight in the frig with Jan's rub over a coating of garlic OO.


Temperature recovery was great considering.  Made it back to 200* F in 1/2 hr and 222* F after 1 1/2 hrs.  The loin got away from me and I didn't get it out 'til the IT was 141* F at 2 hrs 15 min.  :(  I got to the roast at an IT of 135* F as planned though at 2hrs 23 min.  FTC'd both with a little berry juice for about 4 hours.  Both turned out great!  Bradley moist, tender with that great Jan's rub flavor.




Made a plate with the deer and the last of my apple smoked Cooper cheese melted over it.  It was so good, by the time I thought about a picture, it was nearly devoured. :-[   Thanks for looking!

That looks great Joe, I bet it was good with the smoked Cooper melted. I bet you could get one heck of a French dip sandwich with that combo.

That looks delicious Joe.  Nicely done especially under adverse conditions.
