What's on the smoker today?

Dummy me forgot to get a picture. Found a whitetail shoulder deep in the freezer and smoked it for 3 hours today. It's been in the crock pot with beef broth for the past 6 hours. I'll shred it, make a gravy and probably serve over rice tomorrow.
 
Didn't get a picture, but I pan seared some fresh elk backstrap and then threw it in the smoker for a couple hours. Some of the best I've had in a long time. Rubbed it with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, thyme, and some all purpose seasoning. Came out incredible.
 
Not a smoker, but I couldn't turn down free. The bottom is partially rotted and the grates could stand to be replaced but all 5 burners plus the side warmer work. I can line the bottom easy enough. If it doesn't work out I have a dumpster. Now I can pick between a charcoal or gas grill, offset wood burning smoker and a pellet grill/smoker. Choices.

That exact grill showed up a few towns over for free here too. Almost went for it!
 
Smoked a whole antelope shoulder today. Put a good rub on it Friday morning so that it had a full 24 hours to penetrate. Then put it on the smoker at 225.IMG_1691.jpeg
After about 3.5 hours, I put it in a foil pan with a little broth and lard for another 3 hours turning the heat up to 275.

Once the meat was able to be pulled, I pulled it and added a little lime juice and beef tallow to the pan and put it back in for another 2 hours. Was excellent. Made great tacos.IMG_1702.jpeg
