We usually do it in the oven hung on toothpicks on the racks. Being that its summer and the 8 hours of heat doesn’t need to be put into the house, I thought the smoker would be fun. Any suggestions?
Look up the recipe for Dr pepper and jalapeño jerky. It's pretty big with the people I see on my pellet smoker page on fb
Well here goes nothing! Used the new slicer last night NortheastAl and diced up a eye of round. Then trying two different things as far as the meat. The pinker stuff to the left is salt pepper and brown sugared over night. Then the stuff on the rack and to the right is our families tried and true ancient recipie marinade. Trying to run 170 ish on this thing isn’t easy but I’ve got nothing but time for the next few days. Running a little hardwood lump with some apple and maple blocks. Set up a lawn chair smell the smoke and watch the clouds I guess.....
Love that mug. Was a HUGE D.E. fan myself. Don't watch much racing anymore. Good luck with the jerky.
I’ve had that mug quite a while still my favorite one! Next to my grumpy the dwarf one.... I tried watching a race or two the beginning of this year and just can’t get into it much anymore.
That’s looking good. I unboxed the slicer this morning. Looks to be better than I thought. Gonna see what to make tonight that I can slice. I have an eye of round in the freezer, so it might be that.
I had the exact same smoker. It wore out from use and rust. Did my first pork shoulder on it. It came out good too.
I’ve tried to do it on my akorn. The problem is that there is so little air moving through it to maintain 170-180ish that nothing dries out. Now I give it smoke for a couple of hours, then move it to the oven at 170 until it’s dried. No complaints. Eye of round is my favorite cut for jerky. Relatively inexpensive, and the muscle fibers all run the same direction. It softens up nicely with a few days in the marinade. I use a recipe from another forum. If anyone is interested, I’ll copy and paste.
