What's on the smoker today?

Absolutely correct- no steaming necessary. This came out SOOOO good. Will most definitely be making more again soon!!
For those more knowledgeable than me, what is the steaming supposed to accomplish? Is it a food safety thing? I have an elk roast that’s been brining for 3 days and will be hitting the smoker tomorrow. I don’t remember steaming my last batch but I think I was following the Meateater website recipe so I assume I did. But if you’re smoking to 145, it doesn’t seem necessary…

Although for game meat and venison in particular, that you wanna keep that bark from the smoker and if you steam it, you may not be able to get the signature deli slices.
 
Love coming back to this thread - especially the pastrami. Have some venison roasts and some elk (quarters still hanging for a couple more days) that is destined to become pastrami.
