There’s not enough jerky getting posted on here so here’s more of mine from yesterday

[motolife313-2]

Found a really big eye of round. 11.28 pounds untrimmed. 9 after trim. Cut 1/4”-5/16” thick. Smoked low and slow for 6.5 hours.smoked it at 125 for couple hours the 140-150

Got 2 more eye of rounds today and I’m on the hunt for expanded stainless for 2-3 more racks. I can only fit about 10 pounds in here right now with 2 rack. My racks are 31” wide x 17” deep

I've been wanting to make some, but the price of beef in my little slice of heaven has gotten out of hand.

Looks good! We just finished up a round of venison jerky... ended up with just over 8 lbs of jerky. Wished I would have weighed the meat when we started.

We love Jerky and I that batch looks like it is tasty!

Try hanging the slices after using a skewer, I can easily put 8# of jerky on 2 racks.

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!

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

ML 313-2, You have some fine looking jerky and I concur with the other folks that say EOR is the best jerky meat !

Looks great from here! I see you have an audience giving you the eye in one of those pics.

Jerky is an all time favorite in this home, looks great. Like you did, I like it cut a little thick to start for good and substantial pieces in the end.

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.
