Because rugby, wife said "braai". I ain't one to argue, so over the weekend I prepped. Took meats out of the freezer, had them thaw slowly in the fridge, etc. etc. However, I wanted something different, so I got my regular steak (usually rib-eyes, but budget forced it down to a sirloin), marinated in Spur's Braai Time Marinade, my wife's regular honey-glazed rashers and then, to make things interesting, I had some kudu sirloin in there as well. Because I haven't braaied venison in a long, LONG time, I decided to do something different a bit and smoke it. I know venison gets very tough and very dry when you cook it just too hot, or just too long, so I opted for a cooler smoke, for just 20 minutes, with very little smoke chips. Off we go...

Fire started, heating up the Weber. Yes, it's hella dusty, I know:

Chips in (mesquite chips, very small amount, like half a handful, soaked in water overnight), water in tray and meats on:

Lid on, bottom vent wide open. Top vent on a smidge open, and 20 minutes later:

Added more coals (started in the chimney starter to the side), and after a 10 minute rest it all goes on the heat:

And of course, no braai is complete without braaibroodjies:

And the broodjies are done as well:

Aaaaand the golden moments:

Oh, my, what a success! I'll definitely be smoking venison in the future again. Came out juicy, even though it was SLIGHTLY overdone, and super, super tender. I ended up pulling apart one of those cut strips for my son (7 months) and he simply loved it.

I love it to make better meats at home than I can get in most restaurants. It's awesome.

I see some people use the murg when they braai steak.

Jip, cut a pocket in the steak. Stuff it with marrow, wrap in bacon and braai.

Works especially well with fillet to give it some extra flavour.

Fekkit, now I'm hungry.
