Trying to Make My Own Beef Jerky

[dwa12479]

I've never had beef jerky or venison either. Always reminded me of shoe leather and never had interest in trying it. Looks good in pic though!

Oh man, you have no idea what you're missing then. I have a problem with beef jerky, in that if the bag gets opened, it gets GONE. There's never any "save some for later".

Looks good Jimbo!

What cut of meat did you use? I usually use sirloins. If you put them in the freezer for about an hour or so before you slice, the density of the meat makes it much easier to cut in uniform slices.

The last batch I did on the smoker I used a spicy Cajun marinade that I picked up at Field &Stream. It had some heat to it, but not a "holy hell, where's the bread and milk" type heat. I have to prop the door open slightly to try and keep the temp around 150 degrees for around 5 to 6 hours.

Oh, and by the way, spent .308 cases make perfect tray risers to double my smoker capacity. LOL.

Dang DWA, that's some serious jerky cooking!! I used London broil since it was fairly cheap and this was an experiment. I didn't cram my smoker quite that full of beef, lol! You're right about the beef jerky bag...once opened there's no going back
