Smoked Venison Roast
Posting on request....haven't tried it but not for lack of trying, the beasties elude me. According to the recipe I have, this is best water-smoked because it stays juicier and that it tastes really good sliced paper-thin and served cold. Let me know how it turns out!

- Place meat on rack in smoker; cover with lid and smoke 5 hours, feeding with a few charcoal briquets at a time to maintain cooking temperature; baste with remaining oil evry hour, working quickly so as not to disperse heat in smoker.
