    First jerky with new smoker

    This is my first attempt at jerky in my new smoke hollow gas smoker. It's a recipe I found for smoked fish and only used about half the spices so I added some cure number 1 and a little water to make a brine and smoke them up. Smoked them for about 5 hours. Should have pulled them at four as...
