Commercial marinates from Amazon

Smoked is the way to go if you can imo. Need to be able to keep temps low though. I started with my KJ and it was ok but could dry out if not careful. I have an electric MES now and it’s perfect for sausage and jerky.

I've ordered the hot and sweet. Sounds good. I'll let you know how it comes out.

I cooked jerky yesterday. Used eye of round. I am very pleased with end result. 180 degrees for 4 1/2 hours. There is still a little moisture on surface but I didnt want it get to point it snaps when bent.
What do you think of my first jerky?
