Was my concern reading the OP.

I love deer meat, keeping it from drying is always key.


I've chewed on a few "Deer Roasts"!🤐🤐

Yeah, agreed. I'm thinking that keeping the temp low and having a drip pan full of water simmering down with the charcoal might get around that.


Don't think the water pan actually does much.
A brine would infuse moisture and whatever flavor you add.
A bacon wrap would help.

Believe I might get rid of the bone like SandBilly said.
That would open it up for some herb infused butter internally.

If you had experimented a few times to get it right like I have, you’d think differently. Try one with, and without the drip pan, and get back to me……

Did the bacon wrap on one, and I think it’s better suited to tenderloin or thin cuts. Bacon doesn’t do very well on a long, low smoke. It shrivels and loses any flavor and doesn’t do much to seal moisture in.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
