First time jerky on the pellet smoker.

Did bologna a few weeks ago so this weekend I decided to do venison jerky. I threw in 2 beef roasts as well but the majority was venison roasts. First time using my jerkey slicer attachment for my LEM grinder and it was awesome made it so easy to get nice even pieces. I did 3 batches.
1. pittsburgh spice mesquite jerky
2. Pittsburgh spice Appalachian jerky
3. Recipe I got from disco OFG jerky but I didn’t have chipotle so I replaced with smoked paprika. Added SE and changed Cure #1 amount to 2.5g per kg. (see below).
I really like the OFG recipe the best probably because I’m a huge fan of garlic but the mesquite had a nice bite to it and the Appalachian jerkey had a good hint of soy to it. So all in all I would choose any 3 of these mixes again.
Mixed 3-4 times in 36 hours. Preheated pellet smoker with hickory pellets to 200F. Got to 156-160 IT and texture that I liked and pulled it about 3 hours.

• 15g/kg kosher salt
• 10g/kg garlic powder
• 10g/kg onion powder
• 10g/kg smoked paprika
• 5g/kg coarse pepper
• 10g/kg sugar
• 5g/kg ground coriander
• 2.5 g/kg Cure #1
• 0.5g/kg sodium erythorbate
