Starting a Jerky project this weekend (going camping next weekend).  Pics to follow.

I've sliced the meat (actually worked really well this time, and cut it to about 1/4-1/3 of an inch for each piece.  I'm using a packet (ew I know) for the marinade that my Pops picked up.  It's "Wildlife Seasonings Venison Teriyaki Jerky Mix".  Smells really good and from a quick taste it's pretty much my standard jerky marinade (I love teriyaki/soy jerky).

I'll be smokin it (I know, not "true" jerky but its what I have) tomorrow on my Masterforge electric at around 180.

PICS TO FOLLOW!
 
I certainly won't.  It's hard just sitting here waiting for the stuff to marinade. I should have marinaded yesterday so I could enjoy it today.  Oh well hindsight is 20/20.
 
Today is the day! High of 80, low humidity, sunshine blinding me at every opening of my door.  It's going to be made even more perfect by my frustrated attempt at trying to fit all my jerky in my smoker.  LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!

haha, pics coming as soon as I am prepared!
 
PICTURE TIME!

My fancy Jerky Holder.  I use the potatoes as spacers for the smoke, it works well and I can maximized my jerky making.

Showing off my smoke, It always smells acrid to me but everything tastes good, I also get a fair amount of creosote.

Mid-smoke, It's all crammed in there but there's definitely a good smoke flavor on the jerky (not a lot of teriyaki but I'll get on that)

Finished product.  I can't believe how little I got in the end.  Also my marinade didn't seem to take even though the meat was in there for a day.

OH WELL, its purdy good.  Is there any way I could add a glaze or something to make it more flavorful?
 
I was attempting 180 because I had read somewhere on the site that that was the safest, but I couldn't get the smoker up to that.  It took all said and done about 5 hours and it ended up a bit too dry and I think I cooked out all the marinade.  I also rinsed the jerky because last time I didn't and it was WAAAAY too strong and this time it was too weak.  Happy medium must be found!
