Where it comes fromShoulder

On the grill

Roe deer shoulder is smaller than moose or red deer but no less sinewy for its size, so it still wants a long indirect cook rather than a quick sear.

Cook it until a fork twists free with little resistance. This cut has almost no forgiveness for being served underdone.

This takes hours. The fire is barely alive and the meat is never over it.

Smoke it with oak, cherry or beech.
