Title: Smoker hasn't been used in a while, it's gonna be Jerky Tuesday
Post by: Consooger on August 06, 2012, 12:37:37 AM
Haven't used her since the last big smoke. Thinking about doing a run of muscle and some GB over the weekend. I'm thinking about using the Hi Mountain Jalapeno Blend that I got the other day at Cabela's. Gonna do 5 lbs, it's thawing now to mix and sit later tonight into tomorrow. Anyone ever tried this blend? I Love me some Jalapeno so I'm quite anxious to try this one. Not sure on the smoke though, thinking apple or hickory. I will post the pics after it's all done.

Made more blazing pistachios over the weekend. Going to do some jerky this weekend. Going to try the soy vey marinade for the first time.

Oh yummy soy vey. If I were you I would do the nuggets. I did a batch of them a few weeks ago they were awesome. They lasted 2 days and I did 5 lbs.

And here's the money shot.

Went with 3 hours of Apple smoke on this. The smoke isn't too overpowering but the Jalapeno flavor that I wanted wasn't as strong as I would like. Next time I will add fresh jalapeno to the mix and possibly some fresh ground jalapeno powder. The jerky is very tasty however.

I always use london broil. Turns out to be the best cut for me, I cut away all fat and it comes out great every time. I tend to put my jerky in for 45 mins in the beginning at 155 degrees to dry off any surface wetness from the marinade I use and then I will run at 160-165 degrees when I am smoking. Now if I am finishing the jerky off in my bradley I will keep it at 160-165 and rotate the racks every hour for about 3 more hours or until the jerky is done (depends on how thick I cut it) If I am using my dehydrator I run it at 155-160 for 3-4 hours and it's normally finished in that timeframe. Do the bent/break test. If you can bend it and it doesn't break it's done. If it staps you overdid the jerky and you basically cooked it.
