    Ground Venison Jerky

    I use jerky mats. My dehydrator came with them for the racks. Never had an issue sticking with a bbq mix. I only use a dry mix for the dehydrator usually bbq. On the smoker use the same type mats. Also will use a wet mix with minimal issues.

    I prefer natural sheep casing. You can hang (prefer) or lay flat. I like the snap when you bite in. I like to use Syracuse casing co. For my casing. I get the casing on a straw, slides over my stuffing tubes. Using no casing, tends to make it more of a ground jerky.

    Jerky Purely From Scratch in my Smoke Vault

    I have used propane for jerky and found controlling the heat to get low enough was a pain. I liked to smoke at about 120 with the  wood in a small iron smokebox set on top of the burner. I found that by taking screws I could close off some of the burner ports. I also turned not only the temp...

    First attempt at Jerky on my smoker

     If using a brine I always like to wipe off the brine. This seems to help with the moisture. You will still get plenty of moisture as you are drying it.
