Very Nice! Congrats on the carousel ride too!

I used to buy the Cryo-pack's and butcher the eye of round (EOR) myself. Then one day I weighed the waste vs. the good and figure out I was saving maybe 15-20 cents per pound. Now I buy the trimmed EOR at Sam's. But EOR is absolutely the single best cut of meat for jerky in my opinion!
 
Try hanging the slices after using a skewer, I can easily put 8# of jerky on 2 racks.

I was thinking getting a bunch of hooks but it would take a lot of them and I’d need to chain them together. Haven’t thought about skewers but I will thanks

These were 4.75 but after trimming it came to about 5.96$. I just got the trimmed ones for 5.11$, save time and money. These halal eye of rounds are very big tho and it’s nice to have a big chunk of jerky but for learning I may keep it to the pre trimmed, will see. Yes it does seem to be a good cut definitely

That looks great. I haven't made jerky for a while myself. I will have to relearn on the stick burner since the pellet smoker is no more.

Yes skewers is the way to go. You will get a more even smoke without the grill in the way.

Thanks for all the likes and nice comments guys!!

I think I will hang them once I learn to get the doneness nailed down most of the pieces I’ve had so far are to dry and hard. I’m going to keep the temps under 150 next time.
