Thinking about using a hind quarter of a deer to make corned venison using Waltons Corned Beef seasoning and cure. Seeing how this is normally made with brisket, is it likely to turn out dry using venison hind quarter since there is little to no fat?

I will say after it is complete, we cube it and pressure can it with a little beef fat so it is ready to just warm up and use.

Montreal smoked meat is corned beef smoked and steamed. I would say that if Paul can make pastrami then you are more than safe doing corned venison

I have been wanting to do the same thing. I have seen where after smoking it for pastrami steam it or wet smoke it. Just what i have heard! I will do this next year!!

Now I have a chamber sealer so I vacuum pack with brine and refrigerate the venison 3-4 days. Never been too dry.

My process involve pumping the roasts with brine and seasonings which juices up the venison quite a bit.
Obviously it won’t be as fatty as a beef brisket used for corned beef, but after smoking it is moist. I slice the pastrami very thin after it is finished.
