    Smoking Jerky 101

    Yes it did have the right cure in it I just couldn't fine the cure by itself, it was in the seasoning. Made a tad on the salty side but I'm a salt fan so it's good to me. I just like it still on the pink side, as I like my steaks a little past rare but wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna make...

    "Sterilizing" the smoker??

    And q3131a, tried the link but said it was no longer found. I haven't found that there isn't enough smoke flavor actually the night I put the bread on it the bread was super smoky. Almost too much for me but everyone else liked it.

    Smoking Jerky 101

Beings that the cure is supposed to kill off the bad stuff is there and reason I can't pull it while it's still somewhat soft??

    "Sterilizing" the smoker??

    We have the Jim Bowie. No wifi stuff. I do notice that at lower temps it doesn't puff too much but still has good smoke flavoring. It is easy to use and I like have the potion of direct or indirect heat. I have yet to do anything on there and not had it be awesome. The meat thermometer does...

    Smoking Jerky 101

    So one more question, the package of seasoning cure I got said to soak for 6 hours?? Should I have left it for longer than that? It got about 8 cause I really wanted to get some done. The house is completely barren of jerky and I may be having some withdrawals lol

    Smoking Jerky 101

    That is identical to what I did yesterday except I don't have the cure #1 yet had a package of seasonings and cure together. I am in love with the lawrys teriyaki marinade as a base. Didn't put any cayenne in the first batch cause kids don't like it even remotely warm. But once I add the...

    "Sterilizing" the smoker??

    I'd never really thought about it. I always just assumed, around here anyway, that they were cleaned at the end of the day like any normal restaurant. We don't have a ton of bbq pits around here, there have been a few more popping up here and there but probably no more than 5 maybe 10?? We do...

    Ok thanks!!! The bi mart I went to I didn't see it there so I ended up with some other seasoned cures. First one I used today definitely changed the smell of the marinade so I only did half a batch in case it made it too salty or gross in general. Most of the jerky came out pretty good but there...

    "Sterilizing" the smoker??

    "Sterilizing" the smoker??

    I've seen several posts now that people prep, sterilize, clean, ect the smoker before putting meat on. Fairly new to the world of smoking and am madly in love. Have done sooooo many things on it already and just warmed her up to make up my jerky. So what is this prep of the smoker I keep...

    Thanks y'all. I actually was having a hard time finding the cure so I just grabbed a couple packets from bi mart, Scott's and Clem's Oregon trail seasoning cure, figure I'll follow the directions on the packets as for how much cure per pound of meat. Got a decent sized 9lb eye of round hunk of...
