    first time jerky

    The only thing I would like to add is, try and pick the leanest meats you can find and make sure to cut as much fat as you possibly can off the meat before smoking.  Fatty jerky is no good.

    first time jerky

    Smoke takes better to a wet surface, once the meat gets dry it doesn't take smoke as well.  When I do jerky I hit it hard with smoke for the first 2 hours and if it isn't dry I just bring it inside and finish it in the oven.  I figure it's already got the smoke now it just needs to dry. I'll...

    first time jerky

    I've always been under the impression that meat takes on smoke the best during the first couple hours of smoking.  What is the thinking behind not adding smoke for the first hour? If you are having trouble getting the meat dry, try bringing it inside and finishing it in a dehydrator or with the...

    Hello from South Central Minnesota!

    haha... yes, it's pretty warm down here, mid 30's today, which actually isn't to bad for this time of year.  You'll have to post some pictures of your smoker build.  The people here love stuff like that.

You obviously like the taste of the sausage your buddy smoked.  How is...
