Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. The missus made me promise I would make a large batch of beef jerky so I've been excited to try making jerky with a wood fire in the vertical off set smoker. After I made the promise I realized I had no Idea what I was doing as far as using a real fire and making jerky. Only made it with a dehydrator and my WSM using the snake method.
This thread will be on going through Tomorrow when I've finished cook. Decided to get a head start on it tonight to show the full process of making jerky.
So today is cutting jerky pieces and seasoning. I purchased a 7.31lb eye round roast. Thought it was a decent price at 2.89lb.
After Trimming and slicing I had a total of 5lbs of sliced jerky meat.
I'm seasoning the jerky with Hi-mountain Hickory seasoning. Cure and seasoning together. After seasoning I took this picture and then put the meat in a ziplock bag for roughly 24 hours. I plan on doing the jerky cook tomorrow evening.
I haven't decided if I am smoking for 3 hours then finishing it off in the dehydrator. I really wanted to do the full jerky cook in the smoker but so far everyone is concerned about over smoking.
I will update tomorrow evening during the jerky cook with progress and final pictures!
