No pics, but pheasant and moose steaks and burgers are currently grilling. Is that wrong?
What's on the smoker today?

I'd have been rolling out with a cart full of just pork shoulder. Costco?
I have my set prices in town for pork
shoulders, ribs, and chicken thighs. I always buy at least a package when they go below that. My wife won’t ever admit it, but I’m pretty sure she likes tripping over multitudes of meat in the freezer to get what she actually wants.

We are pushing $1.99/lb for butts here. At the cheaper places.
It's just the wife and I, so I've been buying them and cutting them in half

Pretty new to this smoking food but going to try a large venison roast on Saturday. Can you with more knowledge tell me how long per pound I can expect it to take smoking a large roast. Approximately 7 pounds I suppose.I plan to brine it for a day or two. Just season it and throw it on or do I need to do other prep work? What temperature do you guys suggest? Much appreciated.

Tons of info on a google search...seasonings, temps, lbs / time charts, internal temp parameters. I've not done one yet, sounds delicious.

All depends on where (body part) the roast is coming from. Neck roast or whole shoulder go low and slow to let that connective tissue melt. If from a ham, like a top round, I’d just smoke it until it hit about 125 internal, then reverse sear it. Cut it thin and down the hatch with the medium rare slices.
Top round. Do I even need to brine it or just go with it after a good seasoning?

I'd brine...

That’s up to you.
I usually will just salt and pepper them heavily and let them come up to room temp on the counter for a couple hours, then toss them on. It’s a lean cut, so over cooking it is a sin.

Smiths. Had them on sale last week for $1.99/lb, and then these were further market down to $.99 this week. Must have been ones that didn’t sell quick enough.

It’s just me, but I smoke the whole thing, pull the meat and then freeze it in quart size ziplock bags - about 1 lb per bag. Usually lasts me a month or two, and then I smoke another one.

My self control is not too that level. In the past i'd smoke a whole butt and eat it until I was about sick of it.
PP does make a great quesadilla
I’ve been saving about 1/2 to 1/3 pulled and frozen for lunches at work. This last one we did carnitas, pulled pork sandwiches, loaded BBQ baked potatoes and another meal of carnitas before it ran out.

I do more carnitas tacos than anything with the leftover pork.
