Using Spicy Mike's seasoning and cure with 5 pounds of chicken and I added a little BBQ sauce and Texas Pete to give it my type of flavoring. It says to let it cure for 24 hours but I am going to give this about 48 hours to let the seasoning really soak in. It gave me a chance to break in my new 7.5" meat slicer. I am going to put it on the smoker at 200 degrees for 2+ hours (until it passes the bend test). Pictures will be uploaded as the process goes on 


 
Sounds like a good start!

I'm in.

I just bought some mesquite and some cherry wood chips. Which would anyone recommend and why?
 
The color is a lot better in person on the jerky
 
I won't use the cherry wood chips as a go to. They didn't seem to add much smoke flavor, I think mesquite or apple would be a much better option for the next batch I make.
