Sunday Smoked Wapiti Roast

[WapitiTalk1]

Well, for such a big game, figured I'd try a new smoked elk roast recipe.

Defrosted 4 pound cross-rib elk roast.
Rub - Base of Grill Mate Sweet & Smokey rub with a "good" amount of Alpine Touch Hickory Smoke seasoning and Himalayan Pink Salt blended in. A goodly handful of shakes of garlic powder, onion powder, and a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar topped off the rub mix.

Phase one complete (rubdown), now it's off to the fridge for the rest of the day and overnight. I'll be up with the birds to get phase two rolling!

Gonna try to have it done by half time of the Hawks game    Trying a new method.  Gonna roast it in oven at 420 for 20-30 minutes then out to the smoker for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.  Had a buddy that used this method and it came out awesome.. We'll see.

I do the opposite with my ribs...I'll smoke them heavy for an hour then into the oven wrapped in foil with a low temp for 2 hrs and they are delicious...you can only get so much smoke into the meat and the oven is easy to regulate the temp

Umm, bad news.  Got up early this morning, let the roast sit at room temp for an hour, then in the oven at 420 for 20 minutes.  Prepped the smoker while the roast was in the oven.  Crapsticks!  Element is obviously bad in my old school smoker (it was heating up but kept tripping the circuit I had it plugged into).  Adjusting fire now.  Will whip up a bit of an olive oil baste and put the roast on the grill in a few hours.  Oh, well... time to get a new smoker I think

The little fubar still does not give me enough time to crash your party, northwest is a fair piece from the far east.
