First time jerky strips & nuggets

[SamuelG]

After seeing such great results I had to give it a try.  I'm using the Hillbilly Recipe by Master NepaS.



The marinade




Placed in Ziplock bags over night.  I do not have a dehydrator so it will made 100% in the DBS.

I'll take all the suggestions and advice you may have...

You better get your jerky done this weekend because you are going to be too busy by the end of next week.
what is in the blender??

[SamuelG]

Oh Yeah... I'll have "KC" and mixer working in full force !!!  I have over 10# waiting in the freezer.

Sorry I should have noted that those were all the ingredients in the recipe.

Your welcome Sam...

I was telling Sam that I re-coat my nuggets in straight soy vay when they are almost done. This is what gives them their pretty sheen. Also the soy vay is a fairly thick marinade and that allows for a nice coating of marinade on the nuggets for the finish

Getting close to the $$$ shot, but this will be embarrassing! ???

Here it is:



Why do some shine?



Taste wise they are good, but need improvement.

I Cont to have problems with Temperture control and swings.  The temperatures on my maverick are  not even close to what's indicated on the DBS. They are plus or minus 30 DEG depending if the element is on or off, not to mention the different temps around the smoker.

I think I might need that fan and aubier PID added to my wish list.

With all that said, the DBS still produces great results!  What a great smoker and even better forum.

Thanks to all.

Sam the DBS goes on and off for short periods to regulate temp that is why you get temp swings. A PID will throttle the element continually to regulate temp within a few degrees. I think when dehydrating a stable temp is more important. Also without a fan the lower racks are going to dry much faster than the upper so constant rotation of racks is a must. I was able to get a Cabelas 10 tray dehydrator for $79 on sale and they are great for jerky. But I have found that my OBS with the fan, finned element and PID actually works just as good ;D

Another thing is quality of meat makes a big difference. Prime and Choice are great for jerky nuggets. I tried select and they were terrible. So stick with choice if you can.

Soy Vay is a great marinade for these nuggets. Mr.Yoshida's is a good choice also ;D
