    First attempt at jerky...

    i think you want the jerky dry before you apply smoke, pat off with paper towels,put in smoker, and dry @around 180* no smoke, then smoke lightly till you like the texture, seems its always better the next day. dave

    belly bacon question

    the first thing i want to do in my new smokehouse is cold smoked belly bacon. i understand the curing process with one exception, it seems some folks bag the bellys and flip letting them sit in the juice and others do a means of not letting them sit in the juice. which is preferred? thanks, dave
