Cheers and Happy Smokin.....,

A couple months ago I brought some beef jerky I made to share at work and several co-workers have been throwing deer meat at me to smoke for them ( of course, I get a percentage - life is good !

)

Anywho, I've made Teriyaki as well as BBQ flavors, both of which have been well liked.  I asked the guy who was next up in my smoker if he wanted BBQ or Teriyaki and he said, " how about a spicy Teriyaki?".  Sounded reasonable to me, and as I haven't tried any hot jerky yet I was compelled to see what I could whip up.....

After adding  spices and cures ( I use High Mountain Jerky Cure and Seasoning - for this batch I used Original flavor, a bit more peppery)


I mixed up some Hot Yaki using the following ingredients.... following the precepts of K.I.S.S.

2/3 cup K.C. Masterpiece Honey Teriyaki Sauce

1/3 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce

4 teaspoons jalapeno juice from a jar of sliced jalapenos

2 teaspoons olive oil ( to help keep the deer meat moist )

This amount was perfect for the almost 4 lbs. of meat I'm doing.

Spiced, cured and sauced both sides of the meat than layered it in a Pyrex for 24 hrs in the fridge.


Smells amazing. Updates tomorrow after it makes it to the smoker. Prayers to the Smoker Gods

and a little luck always appreciated. - Ed
 
I'll get there David, lookin' forward to it. Mostly a matter of stepping outta my comfort zone and laying in spice and seasoning supplies.  Shopping here is a nightmare. Walmart is the best store around if that tells ya anything ha ! Makin' a journey to St. Lois soon so hope to hit a real store when I do. 

REALLY looking forward to getting a grinder and making sausages, love the sausages !

  Also plan to adapt my BB grill as a primary smoke source to my smoker so I can cold smoke. Say CHEESE yesssss !!

Thanks for all your help since I started hanging out here, much appreciated.  Smoke on my friend. - Ed
 
That sure looks good so far Ed.  I like that when folks put their first name out.  I think your friends will love it!!  Reinhard
 
Thank ya Moon. You to Reinhard. 

It's smoking now, been in a bit over an hour.  Was too stormy to smoke last night.

Chamber temp holding nicely at 190*....thin blue smoke seepin' out, smelling gooood. My favorite smell in the world !
 
One hour forty five minutes in. First pull of what's done so far, and a chance to taste it.


Initially not as spicy hot as I expected but very interesting flavor. The heat builds as you chew and lingers nicely after eating it. Of course, the true flavor won't be apparent until it's sat for a bit.  I think for those that like instant heat some cayenne powder mixed with the seasoning sprinkle might bring that out. Open to suggestions from the forum....
