I smoked up a batch of Pastrami yesterday on my Weber kettle. Turned out awesome. I use Ruhlmans recipe Homemade Pastrami | Michael Ruhlman

for the brine, soak in water for about two days to cut the salt and then smoked in my weber kettle for about three hours ( I just make stack of coals piled on one side, put meat on cold side, add more coals as needed.)

They key for Venison is to Lard the meat. I bought a Wusthof Larding needle off Amazon for $7. I use it to run strips of bacon into the cuts so as to ad some fat/flavor to the lean game. You can use bacon, fatback, fatty pork .....whatever......
