Making jerky is more about dehydrating than cooking. I lay on about 1.5-2 hours of smoke and then essentially dehydrate for another 20-22 hours either in a dehydrator or in a warm environment (oven with a pilot light, an oven...
Yeah -- sounds like a thermo issue.... Everything else sounds like you did it right. I'll ask again because it will make a difference: spares or babybacks?
Pork shots are a sure thing on the list this year.Developing sausage making skills and recipes are a high priority this year. A patient of mine from South Africa asked me about making boerewors (farmer's sausage), so I'm going to try to give those folks a taste of home thanks to Africanmeat...
I'm smoking a couple of pork roasts and some kielbasa this afternoon (Q-view on that later). After getting all of that in the Weber, it was past lunch time, so I threw some soup on the the stove and got set to make a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches. I realized I had an actual grill all...

With halibut, I like to marinade in a 50/50 mix of citrus juice and soy sauce for about an hour before seasoning and smoking. Orange juice is great, as is pineapple. That'll probably work great on...
Your fire/heat/smoke source goes in the very bottom. The water pan hanging over the top of that -- with water in for moisture & temp stability, then your meats on the racks above that. Don't depend on the built in thermo (or any thermo) unless you've checked it with boiling water...
