First attempt at smoking deer tenderloin

[Bullfrog81]

I just got my first smoker. It is a masterbuilt electric. I smoked with apple wood. I wrapped the tenderloin in bacon after a 3 hour brine. Smoked for 1.5 hours. Got it a little to done but not bad. I went ahead and smoked some salmon as well. Made my own bourbon brown sugar marinade. Everything was pretty damn good. Im fat and happy.

Looks good! One of the best recipes I've ever tasted was vinicen sausage with sweet pepper jelly at Eggtoberfest. Never cooked with deer but I'd like to try.

Give it a run. Just don't over cook.

I wanna hear more about this bourbon brown sugar marinade!

 

[Bullfrog81]

1/2 cup bourbon, table spoon of butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar with a few dashes of Cajun seasoning. Warm on stove till sugar dissolved. More of a glaze then marinade but I guess it could work as a marinade as well.
