What comes after two days of rain in Vermont? Monday!
All kidding aside I have an inspiration for maiking Jerky in my GOSM and would like some feedback.
Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed that the temp gauge in my GOSM has been hanging around 120 (corrected) degrees on sunny days. That is with no nothing happening inside. Here's the plan:
Assuming that I will have a sunny day, load the GOSM with hanging jerky strips, my teriyaki marinade of course, and then just place a few briquets into the cast iron wood box with some cherry and a bit of mesquite.. No water in pan.
I would start the smoke early, about 6 AM and maybe use a touch of propane to take the chill off, but once the sun was up and I had about six hours of gentle smoke from the few briquets and the cherry/mesquite combo I would just let the fire and smoke go away and let the jerky cure from the natural forces available!
In one of the threads, I forget from whom and in which thread, someone suggested doing a briquet fire and smoke thingy. But I think I will take it a step further and just rely more on the naturally generated heat of the sun.
Open to all comments and I will of course document with pics and text!
Cheers!
