Does anyone do this? I have a smoker. I can smoke things with alot of fat like a brisket or a pork butt, but I have done two hinds that have been dry as all get out.

But I have tasted some real juicy hinds that are smoked at low temps. I was thinking maybe if I foil the hind about half way thru, it would stay juicy. My father in law does one thats great. He does it on a propane grill in a tinfoil pan. I thought his comes out good cause he has it sitting in tin foil pan.

I have a bullet charcoal smoker. Thinking of trying again in foil with apple wood and at 225F until internal temp is 142F.

Buy yourself a larding needle.And or try brineing the meat first.Here is a link for the needle and other usefull stuff.

Like with all lean meat, just wrap it in bacon. Depending on the type of smoker, you may be able to put a can with water, apple juice, beef broth etc. in with it to help moisture. That along with foiling half way through should take you to the deer hind promise land. If you want it really tender you are going to have to cook it above 170.

I use a Brinkman electric water smoker with cheap beer in the water pan (yes, before it is drank and processed) and it works great. I usually put in pre-soaked hickory or white oak in pretty big (4"x4")chunks and they last for a couple hours or more. Apple also works great too. I check apple orchards in the Fall after they pick the apples and they will be pruning the trees and you can usually get all the dead limbs you want.

I don't use temps, but I usually cook for 6 hours and check the meat and add more beer and then usually 2 - 4 hours more depending how it looks. The smoke glazes the surface of the meat and holds in the moisture. Larding will also work well and I use bacon fat to give the roast a real nice flavor. You can also brush the outside with bacon fat or olive oil and that will glaze the surface too.

The important part is the beer or water that keeps the air moist inside the smoker.

Good luck!!
