    Jerky without using cure?

    I had been told by others that the nitrates were bad, but another post on this forum lead me to a web page that said otherwise.

    Jerky without using cure?

    How long would the 250 temp be required to kill the spores?

    Jerky without using cure?

    Thanks for this information. Don't really want to get sick, so I guess I need to start using the cure.

    Jerky without using cure?

    I just assumed the consuming nitrates was a bad thing. I suppose I could start at 250 for an hour and then turn it down to 180ish. Does the cure cook out during the smoking process?

    Jerky without using cure?

    I have been making beef and deer jerky in my MES40 by running the temp at 185-190 for 2 1/2 - 5 hours without using cure. Haven't had any problems, but was curious what others think about not using cure at higher temperatures.
