I forgot to post this last week, but I finally got around to smoking the chunk of venison hind quarter I saved off last year's doe. I injected with Worcestershire sauce a few hours before I smoked it, and rubbed it in Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse rub. I wasn't sure how long to leave it in so I planned to keep tabs on the temp and pull it when it hit 165 degrees.
I was keeping tabs on the kid, lost track of time, and went to check the temp about 1:20 after starting it with hickory wood chips. Aaaaand, it was already at 174. It cooked a lot faster than I expected.
It tasted fine, I'd do it again. It did get more done than I wanted. It still had a little bit of pink center but I wish I had pulled it sooner. I don't think it was as smoky as I'd like because it cooked fast. I ran it at about 210 degrees, and next time I'd not go that hot. I'd like it to stay in longer and get more flavor. You can see the pinkish center here (meat was cold in this pic, leftover day).
