Trim fat from venison and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick slices. Place
meat into the marinade made by combining the above ingredients in a glass
or ceramic bowl. Marinate at least 8 hours in a cool place. Remove to a
rack and allow to air dry until they become glazed. Do not rinse. Smoke for
12 to 16 hours depending on degree of desired dryness. Use approximately 3 pan fulls
of hickory or cherry wood chips to add to flavor.
