The Guru works awesome, a little pricey but it was worth every cent. Gonna get the adaptor for it so I can hook it up to the bradley and I will be all set.

The venison looks really good. I may have missed one of your earlier post, but what did you finally decide on for the blower adapter.

Habs to be honest I havent even gotten to talk to my FIL to see if he could construct one for me. I am using the adaptor that came with the unit but. I remember you and I speaking a while about this. What was the name of the other company/website that had the adapter that fit right over the outside? We were both talking about this and I can't seem to find the site.

The site is Rock's Bar-B-Que. They make the Stoker temperature controller.

Here is the link to their Blower Adapters. Also check the support area. There are some useful videos there.

Consooger , down here in Ms. we are blessed with plenty of deer. I hunt right out back of my house. We have commercial deer processing shops on every corner and most do a great job. I am in my sixties and grew up hunting and processing our own venison. No way will I pay $300.00 and up to have mine processed.
Anyway years ago I was asked to smoke two hind quarters for a church function. I had never done one and it was cold outside in the twenties. Not wanting to use the charcoal grill, I headed to Walmart to see what I could find. Well being December they had no grilling equipment out yet. After stopping at another Walmart, I found a Brinkman Electric Gourmet Dome Smoker on the top shelf, after talking to the lady in the garden center I was told she had heard of no complaints about them. But was not sure if it would get hot enough with the temperature being in the twenties. Well this was Saturday, and I had to get busy. I paid 49.00 at that time and headed home, got it put together. Being in the dark on how to treat the hind quarter I had to just wing it and hope for the best. I used a paring knife to cut small holes in them and plugged the holes with bacon and garlic, coated them with Zatarans cajun season, filled the water pan with apple cider and threw two onions in the pan. Piled hickory chunks on the element and plugged it in. It was 6:00 PM and I had no idea what to expect. About thirty minutes later, that thing was smoking like a freight train. At 10:00 PM, I added more hickory and decided I had done all I could. If the good Lord wanted these folks to have smoked venison in the morning, then he was gonna have to take over from here.
Well I must admit he did a fantastic job. At seven Sunday morning I went out and touched the dome and was surprised to find it hot. Removed the lid, looked up to the sky and said Lord Thank You Jesus. What I found was two hind quarters, pulling off the bone and with such flavor, they would make you slap yo mama. I have done hundreds for folks since that day and never a complaint. I have used many recipe variations, but always use the gourmet smoker for hind quarters. Have three at present and still are reasonably priced. I have found that I like to fry my bacon and inject the grease directly into the meat. Never taken IT, just smoke them twelve to thirteen hours, and always perfect results. Sorry for rambling lol. Just rethinking some great old memories.

I honestly don't think I will ever look at any other roast other than venison the same way. I cannot wait to try other variations. Sounds like you got the whole venison thing down pat.

Consooger,
Just like Forest Gumps shrimp, there are a thousand ways to prepare venison. We harvest enough each winter, to last us the year. In our house we don't eat much beef, other than Rib Eyes. Other than pork, venison is our main meat diet. When prepared properly it is fantastic. For the one's who say they don't care for it, they most likely have never had it prepared right. I have had my share of that from folks who have no idea how to cook venison. Being such a lean meat, a lot of folks will over cook. As for whole smoked hind quarters, you can't go wrong. I just have never figured out how to make one last more than a day in our house. Lol. Have a Blessed Easter.
