Deer tenderloin for dinner tonight!

[PapaC]

Well, here's what I did with it. I rubbed the two pieces with Sid's gunpowder, then did a bacon drip smoke in the OBS. Took about an 1 1/4 hour to come up to an IT of 145 degrees. Seemed just a little under done, but not really bad at all. tasted delicious!

Ready to start, with pre-heated box right at 200*


And, the money shot....

looks good, how well did the bacon drip work?

[PapaC]

Quite well. I didn't want to wrap the meat, I figured it would smoke up better this way. Just a hint of it in the tenderloin flavor. That with the Sid's (which is fantastic on venison), and the meat didn't need anything else. I just wish my own bacon had been done so I could have used it. It's curing in the fridge now. I just couldn't wait   :D
