I've smoked alot but would not smoke my backstraps..I use a charcoal smoker with grapefruit wood. My temps don't get that hot..250 tops.
In my smoker the venison would not be ready in 10 minutes..not even my salmon fillets are ready in 10 minutes..I'm sure a gas smoker would cut the time down though.
Congrats on the deer.
