What's on the smoker today?

3 of last years elk roasts. Coated in a good helping of Montreal steak seasoning, salt pepper, smoke for an hour, then 250 for 3ish or until they’re about 130 inside, wrap them in foil and let them sit for a 1/2 hour in their juices, usually a perfect rare. IPA’s went down so good last Sunday that I thought I’d try a few again. B5270EBB-41DF-489C-92D1-BAA46FF5081A.jpeg
 
Last night cooked a sirloin tip, my daughter says it looks like a football, told her funny she should say that, some people call it a football roast.

Rubbed liberally with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, wrapped and let sit on the counter for a few hours. Seared and moved coals to side box and cooked to 130, but it didn't get much chance to rest as I was supposed to have it ready when my wife got home at 7 and it was about 20 minutes late.

Wife said it's just like Christmas and then choked on some extra hot horse radish. Wrapped the other half and sliced deli style for lunch today, and this coming week. Damn good if I do say so myself.

I am amazed at how tender venison roasts are when smoked. I started only doing them to 130 degrees. But even at 160 degrees they are incredibly tender.
I started smoking this January and it has been a great learning experience.
 
A whole lotta deer and elk roasts/shanks.

what is this? a barbacoa bonanza?

can i come? i'll bring PBR... and even drink it.
I’m going to pull it for BBQ sandwiches. It’ll be a long drive for you, but there will be cold PBR. Most of the in laws are Twisted Tea or Michelob Ultra drinkers.
 
Wife’s birthday. Brisket and pork butt. About an hour in. quick question though, are you supposed to wait for sunup to start the Bloody Mary? I’m just so nervous, I don’t wanna do this wrong View attachment 230985
I waited. Till about 730. I think you have to have an adult beverage when you’re running a smoker. State law.
