Smoking an Elk Roast
So I'm thinking about smoking an Elk roast tomorrow. Any tips on rubs or hints on smoking wild game. So far I'm thinking about draping it with bacon to help keep it from drying out. Will prob smoke it to 140 but I have no idea on what I want to put into a rub.

Im no smoking expert (in this sense at least, lol), but that seems like a super dry type of meat to smoke. Along with the bacon you should probably inject, and wrap in foil after a couple hours. Although having the bacon on it will prevent some of the smoke, so its kind of a catch 22.
Does putting a pan of water in there add enough moisture to make a difference?

I've never done elk, but I'm thinking low heat, lots of smoke (apple and cherry wood over the mesquites and hickory) for a few hours (depending on size and cut). Then wrap it good with aluminum and more garlic, and cook it according to size and heat appropriate to the size of the meat, let cool, still wrapped, for over an hour (be sure to add this time to the cooking time). Then in wrap and thinly slice a few pieces and see how it tastes. Such a special type of meat, is smoking the best way to prepare it? Guess it depends on other variables. End of the day, I'm interested in how it turns out. My first suggestion is low heat on he smoke and either steam (like I suggested earlier) or flash/sear it with high heat to seal in the moisture/smoke flavor. The spices involved would have to be suttle if elk is heavy in flavor. Don't want to mix strong game meat with strong spices Last edited by crazycoffey; 06-21-2014 at 02:33 AM.. |

I will have a water pan on the side the smoke enters (the hot side) I think I might inject as well, that is a good Idea as I'm concerned with drying it out.
I did decide to hedge my bets and pulled out an elk loin also. |

a water pan in a smoker isn't really to intoduce moisture, it's used as a heat sink to help moderate temperature.
