Another batch of pit boss steak jerky.

[DieselTech]

Guys & gals at 5pm tonight this has been marinating/curing for 24hours.

Do I need to smoke it tonight? Or can I waith till the next morning at which it will have been curing for 36hours.

Is this too long to wait to smoke?

Thanks.

Just leave it in the marinade... And continue on as soon as possible...

Keep mixing it up every so often ...

For any 1 wanting to know, I'm using 5lbs of eye of round roast. Cut 3/8" thick. Using another LEM jerky kit. Peppered.

Plan on smoking 8-10 hours at 180°f for that real smoky flavor in my Pit Boss Sportsman 1100.

I also just picked up 6 bags of Lumber Jack pellets to try.

Doing jerky at those higher temps, I would really start watching it close about 5hrs in. May end up with the outside really drying out before the inside gets done. I usually slice between 1/8 - 1/4" at most. Good luck, will be watching !

Thanks. Yes I should of mentioned that I got the main chamber temp @180°f

Then I am smoking the jerky in the side smoker box & it has been averaging 140°-155°f in the side smoker box.

This thread is no good without finished jerky pictures. It’s all about the pictures, at least for me

I'll get some pics. I've only been smoking the jerky for about 5.5hrs now.

It's getting closer to being done.

Been a long day! baby sitting.

Ok something like 12 or 13 hours to smoke, lol somewhere abouts in there.

I finally got a batch of thick cut jerky done.

Whew! Wore me out! Lol I don't know why I insist in baby sitting my Pit Boss.

It pretty much stays spot on temperature up until the 11-12hour smoke time, then it starts to get a 15-20 degree swing.

Here is a pic. I'll show another once all cooled down.
