deer leg in fire

[ivorytip]

I find the front quarters of deer to be just a P.I.T.A! a lot of work for little meat. this turned out great. made great pulled deer san

That looks downright delicious! All you do is wrap it in foil and put it in the coals? How long?

I'm surprised you didn't melt the foil

was a small quarter, I did 2.5 hours, turning every 30 min. my goal was to have it buried in coals for a few hours but was running short on time. Crimson, you didn't see the bottom, it was burnt pretty bad. triple wrapped with heavy duty foil, bottom layer wetted with olive oil. been watching a lot of meat eater and its giving me some great ideas.

Wasn't tough cooked like that?

the outside was crisp and hard but meat under was great, nice and juicy. a little smack your mamma sprinkled on it made a great treat.

I tried a big moose femur in hot oak coals once, cause I wanted to try the marrow. Well, the whole thing burned up in about 20 minutes. There was almost nothing left. Next time I'll let the coals burn down more.

Meat look good in your pic. I love smoked shoulder. Makes GREAT sandwiches.

Want to try this which is similar next time I get a deer:

I usually save one whole front for deer or antelope for smoking.
