This is my first post. I got a BS for christmas, the black one. I have made whole muscle beef jerkey with the High mountain cracked pepper corn and garlic, after making jerkey for 10 years, this is the best jerkey I have ever made, and alot easier. I just finished smoking 3 whole chickens for all my co-worker buds here at the firehouse in Austin Texas. It went over well. I think they are all going to go buy one now. The only problem I had was reaching the 220 on the door thermometer, but all went well. took about 4.5 hours. I am looking forward to trying salmon.
lots of good info on this forum, thanks.

Congrats afdscott [^]
The door thermometer isn't very accurate, Most of us use a thermometer with a lead on it and/or a remote.
Mind sharing the details on the jerky (ex. temp,time,prep,etc).
You will find lots of knowledgeable/helpful guys here and info. Also check out http://www.susanminor.org and http://www.chezbubba.com.
Have fun!!!
