HI-MOUNTAIN ORIGINAL JERKY

[Keymaster]

Got the Jerky in at 10:30 this morning. Used a Hi-mountain dry cure, just sprinkle it on evenly and put in a ziplock bag and refrigerate for 24 hours. Bradleys set for 1-1/2 hours of Hickory smoke and box temp is 150 deg f for a couple hours then I'll bump it up to 175 deg until its done. I will post pics when done.  ;D

What cut of meat did you use? How did you slice it? ???

Funny you ask John, I told the wife to go to the butcher and get me some sirloin sliced 1/4" thick. When I got home from work some guy at Costco talked her into buying a 5 pound round roast. I sliced it up the best I could but I'm not to handy with a knife so what you see is what I get. I ended up with 3 pounds of meat for jerky and I'll grind the other stuff up into sausage.  :)

It ranges from a 1/4" to about 3/8"  :-[

I did try a sliver about the size of a match stick when it came out of the smoker. It seemed a bit salty but it was still hot and had not come to room temp. I'll let you tomorrow after a little refrigeration in a big ziplock bag.

Let us know if the salty taste mellows out after the rest in the fridge. Man that is good looking jerky.

I like the size of that jerky.  I sure looks good to me.

I split a piece with the wife and she gave it two thumbs up, Not to salty at all  ;D The butcher shop by my house sells their Jerky the same size, I guess I copied them  :D

[Chili Head]

There aint nothing wrong with that jerky at all  ;)

Nice job!!

Your jerky looks like it came out perfect. :)
I like the HM original, it's my favorite out of the ones I have tried of theirs.
