Jerky Poll
 

I'm curious as to what the preferred type of Beef Jerky is here?

I'm partial to different ones, but my standards are Beer Jerky & Teriyaki. The beer jerky is basically a little spicy and a little salty with good beef flavor. Goes awesome with an ice cold brew!

Re: Jerky Poll
 

Sounds yummy, I like almost all kinds of jerky.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I had to vote for teriyaki, but it has to be a very sweet teriyaki beef jerky with a slight spice. Do you make beef jerky yourself?

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I voted other as I like the concoction I make up. Pretty spicy, but oh so good!!!

Re: Jerky Poll
 

Jerky, cheese, belly bacon, back bacon, buckboard bacon, Lox, etc. If it can be smoked, I'm messin around with it! -(P

I use a 24" Smoke Vault inside a small shed so I can hot and cold smoke as needed. Finally was able to replace the propane line, so I'm back at it again.

Here's 20 lbs of "Beer Jerky" hanging with room for another 15 or so. :) I wait for really good meat sales.

Thats awesome, cool set-up! Do you make it to sell?

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I Don't sell, but have been known to trade. :D

Re: Jerky Poll
 

As far as Beef jerky goes, I prefer Teriyaki.

But my favorite jerky is Teriyaki Deer jerky.


How long does it usually take for you to hot smoke beef jerky?? And at what temp?

I'd love to try this out. I was wanting a dehyrdator for Christmas, but can always do it on my smoker.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

Hmmm :D We must talk, I'll PM you later.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I had 2 dehydrators with about 10 trays each I used all the time for jerky and other stuff, but lost them both and all trays in the fire. Dehydrators will work just fine!

Re: Jerky Poll
 

AWESOME set up!
A lot a' commercial beef jerky (even well established brands) use sugars in the curing of the beef, that's why I prefer the hot pepper variety.

Do you use anything special when smoking?

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I cure with Morton's tenderquick. I don't like Botulism! Once cured, then the sky's the limit on flavors! I made jerky for years and years without any cure at all and never had a problem, but it's an easy thing to do, adds a nice color to the product, makes it a safer product and if I'm thinking of giving it away to friends, then it's gonna get cured.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I usually just eat store bought jerky, I really need to learn how to make my own the way I like it. Teriyaki is definitely my favorite, but I'll eat any of flavor of jerky. Turkey jerky too....it's all good. That is an awesome setup Forrest!

Re: Jerky Poll
 

There's a place here in Michigan, The Dublin Generale Store, that makes some of the best jerky. Their BBQ beef and chicken by far are my favorites. Sweet with a bit of spice.

Golfnut, I'd be interested in your cure recipe. I have a bag of Morton TQ I haven't been using.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I love all sorts of Jerky, I go through phases, right now it's Teriyaki, before that it was a spicy sweet wasabi mix.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

WalMart Pepper Jerky Is Pretty Good, But Homemade Is Awesome!:dr

Re: Jerky Poll
 

love homemade deer jerky
black and red pepper and a little bit of salt

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I love teriyaki but the beer jerky sounds awesome.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I'm a fan of hot pepper jerky. :tu

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I love ALL jerky!

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I make my own with a dehydrator, which is excellent for making jerky but not good at imparting a smoke.
However I don't like the smoked kind so much anyway. I dip the meat in Dale's, sprinkle with garlic powder
and coarse black pepper and roll wit it.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

Black Pepper with Cajun and a little garlic... I make mine with a dehydrator. It's a favorite amongst my family.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I recently found a place that has some of the best jerky I've ever had. Its about 40min away but worth it. I prefer terriyaki jerky. I've seen someone make coyote jerky and would like to try some.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

where in so cal? please pm me addy

Re: Jerky Poll
 

I've got the Spicy teriyaki jerky on my to-do list as soon as there's a good sale on beef around here! I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing day of smoking & smoking here pretty soon!
Seems all I've been doing is working. Regular work, working on my truck, then a water pump in my Jeep, and tomorrow is front suspension on my sons BMW......outside in 30-40 degree weather with a chance of snow. Oh yipee.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

ALL OF THEM. I need to make some soon.

Re: Jerky Poll
 

My favorite so far is homemade venison jerky by buddy's dad makes :tu

Re: Jerky Poll
 

Never tried Beer jerky. I like it hot!
