Over the years, I’ve tried a number of meat stick seasonings. Looking in my fridge, I have 4 that I can’t even remember trying so the marathon begins. My goal is to try them and decided, keep or not.
As an experiment, I decided to try using my Camp Chef pellet grill instead of my tried and tru MES40 smoker. There is the challenge. I can’t set the pellet grill to a low temp such as 130 degrees to start as 160 is as low as it goes. So, I set it on low smoke (160 degrees) but I put the sticks in as soon as I fired up the grill instead of waiting until it got to temp. That gave me about 30 minutes of lower temp. I used the jerky racks that I got for the Camp Chef a while back which worked perfectly.
I changed the low smoke setting to 160 degrees and smoke at 1 as I didn’t want too much, the first batch was PS Seasoning Honey BBQ so they didn’t need a lot. It took just about the right amount of cook time, 2-2.5 hours total.
Thought I would share my experiment. Three more seasonings to try and I think I’ll keep using the pellet grill and perfect the process. So far, so good.
