Title: Jerky day
Post by: The 3Ps on Nov 24, 2020, 06:00:55 PM: Cut up 5lbs of steak and seasoned up with some cure and spices. Going to fire up the smoker and make some Jerky . Don't imagine its going to last long but needed to make room for this years deer.

Leaving on smoker for too long can give you a bitter taste. Have to get meat to 160⁰ for 30 min to make sure you kill off all the things that could make you wish you had. I use a dry spice and cure. Liquid marinades make a bit of a mess. I prefer the smoker over a dehydrator all day!
