Jerky Poll

GolfNut · 12-06-2010, 08:14 PM

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!

Superbad · 12-06-2010, 08:15 PM

Sounds yummy, I like almost all kinds of jerky.

12-06-2010, 08:19 PM

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?

Smokin Gator · 12-06-2010, 08:23 PM

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

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

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.

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.

But my favorite jerky is Teriyaki Deer jerky. Me too, but not as easy to come by for me.

How long does it usually take for you to hot smoke beef jerky?? And at what temp? Usually about 140. Much hotter and you're cooking it not drying it. I give smoke for 45 minutes or so then let it dry for a bunch of hours until it will bend but not break. You can tell by the look after a few batches when it's ready.

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!

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?

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.

Bill86 · 12-06-2010, 09:36 PM

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!

Chainsaw13 · 12-06-2010, 09:49 PM

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.

Obscura · 12-07-2010, 03:34 AM

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

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

hscmit · 12-07-2010, 06:53 AM
