Out of the box jerky ideas

[bill6139]

With all this time off I've been watching a lot of Food network which has given me ideas.
This is a multi part question for the group.
Has anyone marinated their jerky meat in a booze? I'm thinking maybe a bourbon, pat it down and the apply Jeff's rub then smoke.
Has anyone coated their sliced jerky meat and then vacuumed sealed for X amount of time?
Has anyone done both?

I can answer the booze portion. A friend of mine uses a bourbon extract in his jerky sometimes and it gives the jerky a nice flavor.

I use red wine as part of the marinade liquid once in a while.
