Hey from VA!!

[smokealilsmoke]

Hi everyone, I'm Devon and I recently purchased a Masterbuilt 30" electric this past weekend. I was born and raised in NE ND and grew up hunting and fishing. The only smoking I have attempted prior to this was back home in an old revamped fridge I converted to a smoker which I used primarily for deer sausage. I have been living in VA now for 4 years and just recently got back to trying some smoking. I tried my first backstrap in the smoker from a couple of deer I snagged with the bow and brought back from Gods Country "North Dakota"!!

 It turned out surprisingly good but I had some good tips from this great site. I currently have a 3lb venison roast in the smoker so I will post some QVIEW if I'm not to ashamed!!

Thanks

Well I'm as far from an expert as they come but here is what I did and it turned out pretty good. I pulled the membrane off and trimmed it up to just meat. I didn't want to marinate it for a day because i was excited to use the new smoker so I injected it with worchestier  sauce and wrapped it in bacon and put in the smoker at 275 until the internal temp reached 145 and it turned out great by my standards, considering it was my first one.
