Took a backstrap from a deer I harvested recently and decided to give it the smoker treatment. I kept the cook simple: 250 degrees with hickory blend Pit Boss pellets, directly on the grates until it reached about 145–148 internal, then rested it for 15 minutes before slicing. Used olive oil as the binder and seasoned it with Hardcore Carnivore Black. The crust came out beautiful, and the meat was still tender and juicy. In my opinion, that’s hard to beat.
