My boss wanted some jerky made from venison so I said bring it I'll do it for you.  I didn't tell him I have never done this type before  ;D.   Well anyway here it is ready for the Bradley!

1st I cut it in 3 parts (easier to deal with)

Next I sliced it up

I added the cure and gunpowder together then applied it to the meat and will let it set overnight then into the Bradley in the morning
Live, ride, eat well and thank God!

Well all done and now sitting in a papper bag to soak up the rest of the grease.
Here is nthe roast alread to go into the Bradley

I used 2.5 hrs of smoke and ran the Bradley at 150 temp for the first hr then kicked it up to 175 for the rest of the time.
Took about 4 hrs to get the texture I wanted
 
Hard to see I know, but it's done and ready to be pulled out. Chris (10.5) said to pull when done and put the peices in a papper bag to soak up the extra grease before putting then in a plastic bag

Looks good. What's the deflector looking thingy above the V- tray? I remember reading a thread on it a long while ago. I think some member here was making it. ???

The Jerky turned out looking pretty Good Tommy. How did the boss like it?

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Nice Job Tommy!! I took a bag of Lems BBQ flavored Beef jerky camping last weekend and it was gone real quick and everyone like it, I prefer Lems Original flavor myself.

I put 3  tbs GunPowder +  1 tsp of the cure in an empty salt shaker and lightly covered the meat.   I then placed the container of meat in the fridge for 12 hrs or so before I smoked in the Bradley
