- 2¼ pounds venison brisket
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, granulated
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons Coriander
- 2 teaspoons Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Cayenne pepper or chili powder

Instructions
- Add the rub ingredients to a small bowl.
- Mix well.
- Trim silver skin and any fat pockets you can reach with a sharp knife.
- Rub meat on both sides with the rub. If it doesn't seem like it's holding, prinkle a bit of olive oil and rub it into the meat well.
- Wrap with a large piece of plastic wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, while the smoker is heating.
- Place the roast on one of the racks. Spritz with the vinegar mixture.
- Smoke for 2-4 hours at 225°F/ 100°C until temperature is around 150°F / 65°C and meat is fork tender.

Notes
- Pro tip: we often smoke a beef brisket when we smoke the venison. If you do this, place the venison on the shelf below the beef so the fat from the beef drips on it.
