Think I will sit in with you all this time. I have eaten gator once and liked it.

This should be a good one!!

Interesting smoke you have going on here.How much do you get gator for down there?

Now I can also get Gator meat here in the Jax area but I ink there are a couple of other things that I would rather do with it then make Jerky. You can do with it what you want to. I would maybe fry some up or maybe a gumbo would be good too. I'm sure it will be good as jerky too.

Got the gator into some nugget size.

My marinade.

1 cup teriyaki

1 tsp non iodized salt

1 tsp smoked cayenne

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cure 1 (lower right)

Mix the dry with the wet.

Going to chill in the soup for awhile.

Nepas, Do you like the gator meat from down there more than the PA Gators???  

 

[BGKYSmoker]

After the soak in the soup the gator nuggets are ready for some smoke.

Dont know how much or fast the gator will take smoke so only have a handfull of hickory/sasafrass pellets in my AMZNPS.

Thanks.  Love alligator.  I'm getting some ideas here. 

 

[SmokinAl]

They sure look tasty! Even the grocery stores around here have gator meat, but we get it down at the gator farm about 1/2 hour from here.

Holy smoke!  They got gators in Savannah, they better watch out, but looks like tasty jerky.
