CRG,
It's 9:30 where I am. Hoping for 11:00-11:30. Will be rotating racks and bumping the heat per NePaS instructions in about 10 minutes. Holding at 145 currently. Will bump to 160.

If the birth of your first born is any more tedious than my first jerky I'm glad I only have dogs. :D

Well I will say this. My daughter was our first and we were all into natural child birth. La Maze, lay mid-wife with Doctor in attendence, low lite candles, etc.
I birthed my daughter and it was something that still mellows me out today. I cryed worst than she did when I took her in my arms.

Sorry this is about making Jerky.

I'm gonna hang with you for a while and watch your progress.

Just bumped the heat and rotated the racks. I now totally understand Rick's urgency about rotating the racks. The back side of the racks are quite a bit further along than the front side. Learning curve for me but it's still fun. I'm thinking a PID is definitely in my future though.

Great story about your first born CRG. I know it must have been very special for you. Is that the one getting married?

Yep, first and only girl. I did that one right, then 3 boys.

I haven't bought a pid either, might ask Santa for one. I've been a good boy this year, I think.
No wait, I might have to get it for myself.

CRG,
remember I said 11:00-11:30? You can forget that. It's 11:00 and it's not even close. This is going to take a while. :P

You got enough coors to hang on?

Did you see that Remoulade Marinade post.

That stuff is killer. Just goot find the right thing for it.

The chuck roast with the Remoulade were great, but so was the one I did was a dry rub.

It is a keeper if you like cajun.

KyNola · October 18, 2009, 09:27:59 PM

Coors is not a problem but getting up tomorrow may be.

I did see the Remoulade beef post. Man that looked great.

Finally got the heat up where it needs to be but if I open the door and rotate the racks it will be back to square one. Gonna take the chance and leave it as is. I would rather overcook a few pieces instead of missing several more hours of sleep.

Yeah My little unscheduled power nap during the jerky fiasco told me it is time for a pid also.

classicrockgriller · October 18, 2009, 09:37:34 PM

Well I think I will wait on a pid till next year. It's takes me a while to learn something new at my age.

Kept calling my new G/F the name of my old G/f for three weeks.

KyNola, have you seen "HI Mountain" jerky cure and seasoning "Cajun Blend"

KyNola · October 18, 2009, 09:44:08 PM

Half of this batch is exactly that!
