It's been awhile since I've done a batch of jerky and I'll be heading up to the lake for a few days so I figured it would be perfect to snack on while fishing.

Was short on time so I grabbed 4ish pounds of sliced top round from our local butcher. Went simple with this one doctoring up a High Mountain mix some. (Hunters was the base for this one) Below is the meat all seasoned up, 36 hours in the fridge and ready for the smoker.

Into the smoker at 145 for an hour or so.

I like to pull it from the smoker after an hour and finish it off in the dehydrator.

Into the dehydrator for a few hours to finish up.

All done. Now I just have to try not to eat it all on the ride up!

The last thing I do with my batches is to use kitchen scissors and cut it into bite-sized pieces as I bag it.
I like taking a sandwich baggie on my delivery/recovery runs and and sip ice water from my 30 ounce vacuum cup.
Seems to last longer for me than having bigger pieces. ;)

The little pieces defiantly last longer! Especially if your passing it around to friends. I don’t know what is about the big pieces though, I just love tearing into them!

Well, they are yours. So you can enjoy them any way you'd like. ;)
 
Looks like a fine batch of jerky. Nicely done.

Point for sure.
