Costco farmed steelhead, 2 packages = 4 fillets

skinned and cut into large strips

marinated overnight in 3/4 brown sugar, 1/4 kosher salt.  sat in a collander all night to drain.

did not rinse.

MES 30 at 150 degrees

AMNPS with cherry pellets

cooked for 5.5 hours because the strips were very fat, some were not dry enough at 4 hours.

delicious!!  It seems a bit saltier than the wild salmon, perhaps the flesh is different.

here is the before shot, all the trays are stacked together.  I had way too many pellets, one row would have been more than enough.


Here is after:  yahooo!

 
wow the jerky looks good

Thanks!   As I noted my strips were kind of fat, had to go longer.  I'd really like to find a cheap and SAFE screen-type product to lay down on the racks so that things don't fall through.  Galvanized is not safe.   Cake cooling racks are good but expensive...

Not sure how cheap you are looking for but a lot of people like these http://frogmats.com/
 
Thank you!  Those are pricey but look like they work perfectly.  I'll measure my MES30 racks and maybe order some.
