Unless you are trying to make jerky I wouldn't suggest doing this.

No fat.

Brine, wrap in bacon, smoke @ 225 for about 2.5 hours. Shoot for an internal temp around 135-140 for medium rare.



eta- that's assuming you are talking about a backstrap and not the much smaller tenderloin (kidney strap).

Sear on both sides on a high temp fire for 3 minutes or so and serve medium rare. No need to smoke one, IMO.

I agree with the pirate. A fast sear will produce a better result.

i agree with all that agreed with pirate..

smoking it can be great or horrible.. i think that is only a matter of a minute to go either way.

I've tried once or twice. The only reasonable success came putting it on frozen, underneath pork roast or chicken leg quarters above it to baste it. Cooking it frozen kept it from overcooking. Much, much better seared on high heat as suggested.

Nope. jerky and sausage are the best things about venison. Jerky I can keep in a zip lock and eat whenever and where ever I like. Goes fast.

Sausage I use in everything or all by itself on the grill. I take to parties and everyone loves it.

Tenderloin as itself is good too I guess
