    Spoilage, Flavor changing shortly after production finished...

    I am starting a small hand-made jerky business and have posted here a few times in the past. I noticed the delicious flavor of my jerky/marinade is leaving the meat within 3-4 days after production. I think the issue is how I am storing it. Currently I store it in a plastic tupperware that is...

    Beef Jerky "Sweat", how to avoid?

    I am working on finalizing my product for sale and recently started noticing my beef jerky sometimes starts to sweat. What is the best way to "stabilize" the jerky for packaging? Currently my process goes something like: 1. Dehydrate 4 hours 2. Put into air tight container to equalize...

    Any experience with this "blue plastic tray" dehydrator?

    I know this isnt a smoker, but I thought I would ask before I buy it. This unit is shipping directly from china, alot of info on this page: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151166944182&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1123 Has anyone used one of these before or know someone who has...

    Pellet Sources

    Wondering where you guys are getting your pellets, obviously looking for the cheapest source out there :) I am in Germany, so I will have to pay shipping from the UK, hopefully its not too much.

    Starting my first jerky smoke...

    My meat is marinating right now, but before I start smoking I have a few questions first: 1. I read that in smoking other meats lots of people smoke with lump coal and then switch to wood chips/pellets only for a short period of time as to not oversmoke. Is that the same with jerky? Or is it...

    My USA Shopping List...

    So I am a beginner smoker looking to get started. The bad thing is I live in Europe and the supplies for smokers are either alot less common (smoking only exists on a small scale here), or really expensive (also Euro to Dollar conversion is still in my favor at the moment). Good news, as you all...

    MES 40 Gen 1 & Beef Jerky...

    I am looking to make some smoked beef jerky and was wondering if this is a good smoker for an inexperienced jerky maker to experiment with? Since it is on sale now I figured I should probably order one. I read electric smokers are good for jerky since you dont need high heat. Has anyone tried...

    Beginner Smoker...

    Hey everyone, I want to try out my hand at smoking. I am looking for suggestions on a simple, hot smoker, that uses wood chips/pellets. Any suggestions? I will be smoking mostly beef jerky. I would prefer something not too expensive, I thought about a UDS, and that is an option but I dont know...

    No-weld UDS (popular mechanics)

    Hi Gents, I'm brand new to the forums, and, well, everything. I am looking for a hobby and I like to cook. Of course I like BBQ and smoked meat and its not something you find alot of (at least in the way I am used to from back in the USA) here in Germany where I live. I want to build a UDS...

    Newbie smoker looking to introduce myself...

    Hi there, I just joined up. I am an amateur BBQer and love to cook and grill. I moved across the ocean from my homeland (US) so I hope to keep our american traditions of BBQing and smoking meat going here with my multi-cultural friends. My first project I plan to attempt this summer is a Drum...
