Getting the strips ready last night. Biltong is thicker than regular jerky.










Covered and fridge last night. Ready to hang in 80L today.

Looks super Rick.  :)
Reminds me of years ago, it was a cold rainy night when I just got in from Africa and ran into a gal from ickyzabambawazzy. She poured, I drank and well one thing lead to another and we started talking jerky. not just any jerky but " biltong" jerky!  :-*
Oops, there I go dreaming again  ;)

[NePaSmoKer]

Temp in garage is 92* Humidity is 87%. The Cabelas 80L draws air from the back so i had to hang the Biltong in the house.

Im sure i will hear it YIKES   :o

Took the smaller/thinner chunk to cut it up.




Biltong is thicker than normal jerky. This you will need to slice it up. It pretty thick and dense. Taste great. Next time maybe a mild smoke or use some smoked salt. The rest is not done yet.
