  Is there something wrong with me, if when I look at all that gorgeous meat I start to think  "No time to cook, eat now!!!"

Speaking of nuggets,  have you ever tried it?   Kinda like Jack Links nuggets?

I do the nuggets starting at 140* with 4 pucks of wood. Then bump to 150* for 2 hrs. Taste on at this point. If its not done bump heat to 165* for 1 1/2 hrs. Taste again, at this point they might not look done but they will be because they are not a thick mass of meat. If your not satisfied bump the heat to 175* until they are to you liking. Try not to exceed 180* in any jerky making.

When your smoking jerky you do have your vent full open? And no water in the pan?

   For this batch of Elk,  yes vent full open, no water in pan.     First  batch I smoked too long before removing pucks... A lil too much smoke.  Second batch is just about done, and the samples are VERY good IMO.
