Jerky Time

Keymaster · January 27, 2013, 08:23:08 AM

Mixed up some brine using lem's Original seasoning mix.

Then I hand slice all the top round into 1/4" thick slices and into the brine it went.

Cover and refrigerate overnight and shake it around everytime you fill your sippy cup up with ice and adult beverage.

Got up real early and got it in the Bradley smoker.

Be back later today with the finished pictures. Gonna roll with Alder smoke today :)

If you don't have one of them mixers you gotta get one. 13 hours later, last two in the dehydrator.

Now all you need is another set of 6 racks so you can double up on the fun.

Its kinda close to Obertos original. A little salty but I cut back on the seasoning. Its not like my butchers jerky but I like it. There's plenty of room to be "Happier" :)

I was about 6 tsp short of the original so I used a little bit of the lems bbq flavor. Turned out good.

I agree with you Curt! I love the Hot! I have been buying the mix at Gander Mt and a month ago I bought the last package and went back the next week to get more. Rack was empty! Went back the next week and same thing. Went back the next week and same thing. Asked the clerk in the department about the rack being empty. He went to the back room and brought out some High Mt crap and said this is all they got. Came home and ordered 3 25LB packs from LEM. Got the delivery last Wed and been making GB jerky all weekend. :o

It's actually easier than that. I made up 8# of jerkey in my 4-rack last night by using 7 trays (could have gone 8).

On each rack-holder I placed 2 trays. One "right side up" (as normal) and the other turned upside down.

On a 6-rack you could hold 12 trays,,,

Just my $0.02...

Thats a good idea. With the 6 pounds of beef I had in the smoker I also had that black condensation dripping from my door onto my deck that the wife don't like so well. I find that six pounds is just right for me.

I'm jealous. That looks WONDERFUL! What is under the jerky...on the racks??
