I have smoked several batches of jerky, sans the cure #1.
I have read that a lot of people don't ever use cure. (I always freeze mine and defrost just what I want to eat at one time)
I notice that the Muebe recipe calls for cure.
Is it necessary for the nuggets?
Thanx in advance for your help.
Any time you are smoking at a low temp the meat should have cure. Danger zone for nasties are between 40 and 140. Even if the smoker is set to 160 I would personally add a cure to the meat to be on the safe side.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what he said. I always use cure on my jerky.

Always add cure when your smoking any jerky, even if you smoke then into the dehydrator.

I add cure even when I <gasp> don't smoke it and go straight to the dehydrator.

I have to
Ditto on the cure ;)
Thanks fellas
I guess I've just been lucky.
Will start using cure #1 in all my jerky. (If I can find any to purchase locally)
If not, then I will push my luck 1 more time until I can find it (on line maybe??)
