Jerky


Recommended Posts

Well, drying some ground venny in the dehydrator and I figured I'll throw a few in the smoker to see what happens. Been going 2 hours. Used a little hickory wood but I'm wondering since I used Hi Mountain Hickory mix how's it gonna taste?? Taste test this afternoon. smile

still waiting...:)

Take it out now!!! It finishes WAY faster in the smoker than the dehydrator. Just sayin'. I've never had even the thickest pieces take more than 3 1/2 hours in the smoker set at about 200 degrees.

LOL, shoulda took it out sooner. Dehydrator wins cuz I left a few in the smoker too long. 60 in the dehydrator. Not crunchy but too cooked instead of dryed. Dehydrator flavor better also. I'll try a few pieces again sometime at about 180 and not so long.

I didi a batch in my charcoal smoker and a batch in the oven this year. I think I prefer the batch that was done in the oven better. The smoked batch got apple wood smoke for maybe 40 minutes and it just seemed a little strong for my liking. A lot of other people tried both and liked the smoked better. To each their own i guess. I'll probably still do a mix in the future but I'll bring down the smoke time a little.

Glad I ran into this thread.... I am gonna be doing jerky today with ground venny with hi-m hickory and hickory wood in the smoker. I also have a little pork grind to add if I should need to. What do all of you recommend for time, temp, and any adds to the seasoning? I like the tsp of pepper. I have a berkley smoker so temp is pretty steady. Wondering mainly on time at 180 to 200? How long do I cook and how long should i smoke? Thanks guys!
