Could it work??

A buddy went hunting and sent Mr Buck to the processor.  What to do other than JERKY!!  Well i had an idea while browsing.  Why not use a WSM 22" and an AMNS??  Use the water pan as an empty drip pan.  Open all vents and light the AMNS and leave the top vent wide open.  In theory I dont see why it wouldnt work.  Make sure to place the AMNS exactly center were the ring goes.

It should work fine. I used to make jerky in my UDS before I built my plywood smoker. I tried to keep the temps in the 120 - 150*F range to dry out the meat.

That Jerky looks amazing.  Do you have a jerky gun or how'd ya cut it so thin?  I thought about doing some goose jerky this year, but lost all the meat when my deep freeze decided to kinda crap out on me...

Give this a try. Omit the liquid smoke. Also, I didn't think about it until I read Len's recipe that you are using wild game. Follow his instructions about getting the meat up to 160*. http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/JerkyLens.pdf

I used a cheap slicer.

great looking jerky.  i make mine on the WSM also...takes awhile to dial it in to remain under 150...but once you get it it's easy

Well the photos worked this time but the jerky taste dry and alittle dusty too.

define please your "dialing"

what i do is use very little coal..honestly..but you only get about 3 hours of smoke doing this and then i put on the dehydrator.  so i take about 5 briquets and place them in the bottom of the smoker.  then i get 10-12 more and put them in my chimney in a "cross" pattern and light that up.  once the coals are grey i pour them carefully over the unlit briquets. i'll then close the vents to half open.  watch them temp rise a bit to about 90-100 and then close the vents to almost closed (1/8th open).   the heat will gradually rise to about 150 over 3 hours. 

hope this helps
