I love jerky and so does my wife and all her family so it seems I am always throwing some beef jerky on my Traeger Timberline 850.  My latest effort is a Tabasco Chipotle sauce variation.  It turned out ummm WOW!!!

1 bottle Tabasco Chipotle sauce

1 cup beer (dark) Shiner Boch

1/2 cup Worcestershire

8 pickled jalapenos pureed in some beer

1 tbsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. onion powder

1 tbsp. black pepper

1 tbsp. cayenne

3.5 lbs London broil sliced 1/4 inch or so

marinate for a day or more or more or more

smoke about 4 hours or so till dry but pliable

put in Ziploc freezer bags and let cool

seal bags and freeze till ya want some

keep in fridge until gone

this works for me but not traditional dried out jerky that can be stored anywhere

Ya just gotta love jerky!  I've got a small batch going right now, first time on the WSM instead of the kitchen oven (many batches there).  With the temp controller the WSM is just cruising along at 165F.  My backyard smells like a hickory smokehouse.  MAN OH MAN that smell is addicting. 

I'll smoke up the rest tomorrow after I see how this first batch turns out. 

Sub, your recipe mentally tastes a little too hot for me, but it's giving me some ideas.   

Edit: I almost forgot.  I hit it off this weekend with the husband of one of my wife's employees at a BBQ they held.  He's a big time smoke fanatic.  He is the proud owner of a Cabela's 160-liter professional dehydrator.  24 shelves in that baby.  He was showing it to me just as we were leaving for the evening.  I get the impression he snagged it for a really inexpensive price somewhere.
