We have a nice sized smoker that could probably fit a half pig in it or something.
We have some brisket and one end is usually fatty and unpleasant to eat, I thought about trying to smoke it up, into jerky.
Its just I hear fat is bad?
I'm also not so clear on cooking temps and for how long I read something like 220 deg F for 10-20 minutes after the drying, or the other way around?
then cook at 160 for 4-6 hours?
Now here is something about the marinade, I wanted to do something more simple... very simple, or I may just have my dad do what he does to the brisket. But something like just salt and pepper and maybe garlic pepper?
Plans:
Freeze the meat enough so it is easier to cut, into 1/8-1/4" thick with grain strips
cut off major fat
make a mix of salt and pepper and garlic pepper
rub mix into meat
quickly put it on the smoker before bacteria can grow?
smoke at 160 deg F for 4-6 hours, then at 220 for 10-20 minutes at end
Thanks,
