GB Jerky

[northof60girl]

Ok, I have gotten some good info from reading the forum about GB jerky but can someone send me a link to GB pepperttes and flat jerky recipes.  I have waded through and found a couple that use casings but I would like to do them without casings.  Thanks in advance my friends!!  :D

Just use the same recipe but don't stuff it into casings then. It's that simple.

Hi northof60girl
I have made GB jerky and sticks from this recipe. Gregs spicy beef sticks.
For sticks just use the smallest horn you have and the flat attachment for jerky.

Are you going to buy the meat already ground up?

[northof60girl]

I already have it.  I bought it a couple of weeks ago (and froze) when I was across the line in the US.  It's cheaper there and they have the ratio on the packaging which I have yet to see in Canada.  It's 85/15.  ??

[classicrockgriller]

85/15 might be a little too fatty.

How much meat are you going to do?

[northof60girl]

Crap...too fatty! Ok, what can I do to fix it by Saturday.  It's about 5 pounds I think....there goes the confidence lol

You can use the 85/15 and it will come out fine especially in the casingless sticks. When it comes to jerky it's usually the leaner the better.

I'm a Canuck as well. Up here we use Regular, Lean and Extra Lean.

Here are the ratios from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency

•maximum fat levels:
extra lean - 10%
lean - 17%
medium - 23%
regular - 30%

Hi Mike

Thanks, it's my first try so while I hope for great results I know I am on a learning curve lol.  I am seasoning the smoker as we speak but I do have a question someone may be able to answer.  I set the temp for 150 as it suggests and it currently reads 176.  Shouldn't the heat shut off or ?? when the temp I set is reached?

Thanks

I sound like a new parent hahahaha.   :o

It smoking good now!  I even picked up a digital thermometer and an extension cord because of course it doesn't reach anything outside.  I live in a tiny one bedroom basement suite and it's not the greatest of areas so I don't want to leave it outside so I'm going to throw in on my dolly with a piece of plywood under it and wheel it in and out of my tiny house.  I'd hate to come home and find it gone...  :'(

Running the Bradley on a extension cord can be bad.

Needs to be a short 12 gu extension cord.
