Thanks folks. I kind of figured it would be a bad idea, just thought I'd run it by the experts. I did wonder about laying them out in the fridge, and it sounds like something to try. I posted pics on my "Third Rack" thread of how this batch turned out. Pretty good!
Ok, got the jerky made and boy did it turn out good. I added a little more brown sugar to the brine to cut the acidity of the smoke a little. Plus I dried it an hour longer to make it kind of crispy. The third rack worked very, very well. I think I'm close to getting this just right!
If I have ground beef that is cured for about 36 hrs in the fridge with a cure mix from Cabela's (has some nitrates), would it be safe to make my strips on the racks the night before I smoke and let them sit out on the counter-top all night to dry a bit before I put them in the smoker the...
Update...Tropics, I found one of those racks in your picture, but it was 10x14, which worked out well. I took some bolt cutters to it and clipped off 2 inches then bent the wires around on the ends and it fits perfectly in the slot for my 3rd rack. Thanks again for your help.
Ding ding ding! I think we have a winner! That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Thank you very much! Now that I know they're out there I can start looking. We have a Someone's in the Kitchen also. I'll try there too.
Wow I really appreciate the help, but those dimensions are too big for my smoker. Even the regular Bradley racks are too big. I may have to contact the company for this one. Unless I can just find a 11"x11" basket that's only an inch deep to flip upside down and set in the drip pan. Thanks again...
That's a great idea, but right now I have a bunch of ground antelope to use up and I don't think the ground "blaster gun" jerky would hang very well. Thanks for the idea and I will try it when I do strip jerky again.
