first try at jerkey!
« on: December 03, 2012, 07:37:33 PM »
Ok guys this was my first try..it was more steak bites than jerkey but thats ok  :chuckle:i thought about hanging it from the racks but i think i would have had to much meat for them so i just threw them on cookie sheets and turned them after 2 hrs...the smaller thinner pieces i just marinated and the thicker lieces i lightly coated with sweet baby rays for the last hour...half hour cook on each side....didnt turn out half bad...its got good flavor to it...i ended up cooking them at 180 degrees for 4.5 hrs....next time im gonna do thicker pieces and cook a little less...i like them a little more tender

a really good trick I do is some steel fishing leaders and large paperclips to hang the meat for jerky, makes them cook way more evenly  :tup: and when its even looking close to done i take one out every 30 minutes and let it cool then see where i am, and i personally shoot for 90-130 for like 12-15 hrs in a smoker.  the elcheapo cardboard box cold smoker works GREAT for jerky. looks yummy, burnt but yummy still good job  :tup:

thats where water comes in, water doesn't keep meat moist what it does is keep temps consistent all over. dont get me wrong i am NOT a jerky know-it-all by any means i just know enough to not f*** mine up  :chuckle: mines a lil different though, all ours is salmon jerky a.k.a. squaw candy but same theory. If i was you i would PM dogtuk, or register on the best place to ask is www.smoked-meat.com  :tup:
