Do u just put the muslin bags in the washer when your done, also why the Amos in s.s.. , isn't it to wet/ soft? Thanks. Gona try the red Barn seasoning.

Put some them rounds in the dehydrator for RB jerky rounds.

Bags need to be cut off the sausage and discarded. The Amos I think keeps it from drying out. Just preference I guess. I just started using recently.

Put some them rounds in the dehydrator for RB jerky rounds.

That sounds like a good idea, may try that.

Wow, phenomenal man!

Thank you, appreciate it. . .

Kinda curious if you had actually done this before ? Think I'm gonna try it with a couple. Approx. how long did you dehydrate for?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Yes i have done it many times.
Took about 7 hours, slice about 3/16-1/4. Dehydrate set to 140, being the chub was already cooked.

 

[Winterrider]

Thank you Rick, appreciate the info. Going in the Am.

I've used pastrami and GFB for this . Makes great jerky . .

 

[Winterrider]

@chopsaw Thank you, this may turn into a regular around here.

this may turn into a regular around here.

I had some homemade / cured pastrami that I was getting tired of , so threw the last if it in the 360 . Came out great . The best for me was the ground formed bacon . Further dried int jerky is really good .
Something else I do sometimes is wrap a chub in butcher paper and hold in the fridge ( 36 degrees ) for several weeks . This is some Bierwurst I did awhile back .

Same chub wrapped in paper and in the fridge 3 or 4 weeks .

@chopsaw , looks good. I have done it with the ground formed bacon before.
In fact I need to do some bacon, Curly's is out of seasoning until Feb. That was the best that I have had . Owen's, Is very good also.
