You'll like the BGE. I have meat in the freezer from an old rutting mule deer that even in chilli smells enough like rutting deer that I was not excited about eating it. I took some of the back strap and smoked it over the indirect plate with mesquite at 250-275 for about 30 minutes, and everybody loved it. I have cooked meat from that deer 3-4 times since and it is really good on the egg.
