Just curious, why do you add liquid smoke if you're dehydrating in the smoker? 

 

You may have misread that, I'm leaving that out.

changing it up this year. the pork loin jerky is so dang good all the venny that isnt a steak is going to burger and sausage.   I hope to try your recipe bob on the pork. I bet it will be nice. I gotta go 24 hours tho for whole meat in brine.

Most of the time I just use the Dale's as a marinade. Brush it on before grilling.

you gotta try it. I buy them at sams for 189 per pound.  trim fat off then I partially freeze. Then run about 2/3 of it thru my slicer at a strong 1/4 inch. I cure them then on the dehydrator. when done I like to cut in half then shrink wrap. Inexpensive and great taste.

So if I would go buy a pork loin, freeze then slice it, would I use the same method I did my venison? I bought the LEM backwoods hickory, then put it on the dehydrator?

[Mike89]

not freeze it, chill it so it firms up and it can be sliced easier

[eyeguy 54]

almost froze I like. Slicer does a nice job.

[smurfy]

OK we got the slicin part down???????? opinions on the marinade and the dehydrator????????????

I've had this.... enjoyed it.

So soy and some of that Korean gochujang maybe?   I saw that there are a whole bunch of different pork jerkys being sold while looking for that picture....

I've made pork jerky once and it was excellent, thanks for the reminder! That was several years ago and I completely forgot how inexpensive and delicious it is. I used my homemade generic Asian marinade. 

 

I've also made jerky out of a ham steak. Also delicious, but very labor intensive to ensure it doesn't dry out

high mountain hickory for me on the pork. sprinkle and layer them in a plastic container then I put in big bowl and mix all up then I layer them again and put in fridge at least 24 hours. then dehydrator. fantastic and cheap

might try a marinade on next batch

Good weekend to make some pork loin jerky. I went with my own marinade. I am making Christmas jerky packs for gifts by request so I am using the old standby. I cut up 2 whole loins from Sams, 9lbs a piece. I trim all the fat off and the dark meat. the dark meat was last nights supper. Tomorrow I am going to add some fresh ginger to the mix on another loin to simulate the Dale sauce.

 

3lbs of whole meat 

1 c soy sauce

1 tbs Worcestershire

1 tbs garlic minced

1 tbs onion minced

1 tbs fresh ground black pepper

1-2 tbs brown sugar or honey

[smurfy]

that looks good already!!!!!!!!!!! was thinkin of doing that too, why did you cut the dark meat off?????? just asking for future reference!!!!

Looking fabulistic grainbelt!! How long did you let em swim in the marinade anyhow??

[Grainbelt]

Smurfy, I cut the dark meat off because it taste so good in the frying pan with butter and garlic salt. 

 

I let them swim for 2 days and now on the smoker. I am using apple and crabapple wood. 

[Mike89]
