Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: big game recipes, venison recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 venison neck or shoulder roast bone in or out
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • barbecue sauce your favorite

Instructions

  • Don’t bother boning it out. Rub the roast liberally with olive oil, salt, and pepper (or your favorite rub). Wrap it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  • Place in a 200- to 225- degree smoker for 6 to 8 hours. Meat should pull away from but not fall off the roast with minimal effort. If it still seems a bit tough, keep smoking.
  • Place roast on two layers of heavy duty foil. Pour a cup or so of barbecue sauce over and wrap snugly. Place back in the smoker for another 3 to 4 hours or until meat falls off the bone.
