Looks like a good start!  Recipes sound delicious!  Looking forward to seeing the final pictures and how you liked the taste of them.  What flavor of smoke will you be using?

I think the first batch will be Hickory smoke and if there is more maybe JB smoke.

Looks good!  I learned here not to store jerky in zip lock bags as moisture forms.

Nice lookin batch of Jerky.  So tell us about the tast of the recipes.  Would you make it again.  Would you change anything?  The recipe looks interesting and would like to know about your finished product.

I HAVE learned one thing about jerky.......if you over dry it, putting it in the bags warm WILL make it edible again.
