Venison Burger?

Does anyone here have an aversion to the smell of deer burger cooking?

I have such a strong aversion that the last time I made deer chili, I couldn't eat it, even though my family was bragging about how good it tasted. Even the picky eaters loved it.

I have lots of burger left from last year, and more from this year. Does anyone have suggestions or tricks to lessen or mask the smell?

I mix 1LB of Jones reg sausage with about 3lbs of ground venison, then add one sp liquid smoke,one spoon of worcestershire sauce,one spoon of montreal or canadian steak seasoning,mix fast so all the fat dosen't seperate,
make the burgers, cook under the broiler for 8-9 minutes per side, the sausage just holds the lean meat together,adds some fat and has some seasoning

I cook ours on the charcoal grill outside with homemade charcoal, but I put some soaked hardwood on so the burgers are smoked more than grilled.
