Venison Or Goose Anyone?

[jlabolt]

Recently had some people offer me a few venison roasts and a goose or two. Haven't ever ate goose, but I'm sure I'll like it. Anyways, they want me to come up with a good smoking recipe. Anybody ever smoked either of these? I smoke turkeys here and there, so I think the goose I can come up with. However, the low fat content of a venison roast, I think would make it more difficult to keep moist during a long smoke. Any and all ideas much appreciated.

Think someboy is jacking with ya. Gooses should be shot and left to lay in the wheatfield they is busy destroying so to give the Coyotes a little bite to eat. Venison is best ground and mixed at least 50/50 with some nice fat Boston Butts to make sausage...or else cut into steaks and have the snot pounded out of both sides with the sharp edge of an Old Hickory butcher knife and turned into Chicken Fried Steak. I got some good Chicken Fried Steak recipes in case you need one. Hope this helps.

Ps..Woops edit...dont forget about venison jerky either. It very good. I show you how to make that too if you want.

Pps..Dont even get me started on Carne Guisada and venison stew..yum yum. We could be here all night:)

I've roasted many a goose (honker) on a weber kettle using indirect heat and drip pan. Drape the bird with bacon slices. Good eats for sure.

The venison is real lean, so if you smoke it, be sure to lay some bacon over it and don't over cook it..to medium only, and I would smoke it with hotter temps.
A roast, I usually use a crock pot, with some potatoes, carrots and onions.

When I used to cook goose...I would always just filet out the breast and grill it. Again to medium.

Back when I use to hunt, I didn't do any smoke cooking, so not too big of help here...just throwing out some thoughts.
