How do you smoke meat on a campfire?

Venison does not usually require much preparation before cooking. Venison steaks (shoulder or fillet etc...) are best pan-fried on a medium high heat for 5-7 minutes each side (depending on thickness and how rare you want it). Taste-wise, venison steaks are best served rare, however due to a disease similar to vCJD (mad cow disease) spreading through deer herds, some people are uncomfortable with rare venison and instead prefer venison cooked until it's just barely pink in the middle.

All other (non steak, non fillet) cuts of venison are best stewed over a long cooking time (they can be slightly chewy otherwise).
