    Long Smoke times questions

    Thank you Weisswurst .. I will check into the book ..  I am by no means even going to touch any fermented or other wise until I have a full understanding on how it all works .. I was just shocked at the 5-7 days smoke time because well that would be hard to achieve ..

    Jerky ? What temp.

    I have never done this in the 20 years I have been making jerky .. suppose salt is a cure to some point but I didn't use and never have used Cure .. I was trying to fallow some sort of guidelines when I would keep it at 160 but .. well it just dries the outside too fast ..

    Jerky ? What temp.

    Good Luck!!  .. I have about 20lbs going right now .. I will try and jack it up during the last hour or so and knock it down for a while .. thanks I couldn't live without my dehydrator ..

    Jerky ? What temp.

    I usually go with 160 in my dehydrator but its seeming to get TOO dried out ... Sooo My question .. what temp do you usually use to dehydrate your jerky ? I am gonna try 150 and see if that does it slow enough to where it will not be crumbly
