For beginnners, let the meat stew in the fridge for a day in either some
storebought or home-made stuff to break down the meat. This may ease the
taste for those who detect the "gamey" in it.
Graduate to smoking. Cover with foil and slow cook for 12 hours. Open up
the foil to the grate, smoke it afterwards another 4-6 hours. Cover it
again with foil, add seasonings etc. before sealing. Cook another 4 hours.
Live oak works best, tempered with some mesquite in the smoke period. Don't
dry it out, keep it moist.
Beer based BBQ sauce over a slow fire is excellent. And some slice lemon
(whole). Tends to break down the toughness. Not for smoking, a slow BBQ
only.
Best sausage is made from venison backstrap with some pork for fat content
and balanced meat/fat taste.
