    Venison backstrap. Watch the weather and look for a window that is cold and dry that will last for at least 5 days. Cut the backstrap lengthwise into 2 or 4 pieces. Rub each piece liberally with Morton's Quick cure, sprinkle all sides with coarse ground black pepper. A smokehouse is preferable to apply smoke for several hours with zero heat. If using a pit it must be one with an offset. Start fire using small kindling. Place larger pieces over kindling after it has burned down, you want smoke but no heat. Place meat as far away from the burn box as possible and close the flue. Check the temperature often making sure the temperature doesn't register. Three hours should be enough in a confined space. Once the meat has been smoked to your liking, punch a hole in one end and thread a string through it. Enough to hang the piece of meat on a wire in direct sunlight with a free breeze. Let hang for three or four days. Take down and enjoy.

    Hickory is my favorite wood to smoke with but I do like apple and cherry when I smoke a turkey. Also, Aaron is right when buying wood. Better to buy the wood green and age it yourself than to buy dried wood that will burn too hot and not give consistent smoke.
