I marinated my meat for 24hrs pur some hickory chips in set to 130. (Mes 30) was in for about 3hrs. Was still wet so i added more chips and turned to 150 for another hr. Than noticed my vent was closed and was still wet so opened vent and turned to 170 For 45 mins. im thinkin i oversmoked/cooked the meat instead of drying it cuz got a bitter taste and its really not that dry. Gotta sittiN on some racks in the garage till morning to see what happens. Any suggestions. I followed someones recipe from here that has a sticky or something for a couple different marinades. Id like to give it another shot this week. but i dont wanna mess up more meat. I see some ppl say to dry it for an hr or so at 140 than smoke. And others say the opposite. Im trying to get it down in a smoker or im just gonna be a dehydrator
