Beef Jerky

I made my own tips for doing it the way I do in the Recipes "Jerky" thread. As for convenience and doing it
in the Smoker thread, I will make it quick. Start with a cheaper cut of meat. Make sure you choose very LEAN meat.
Use more flavoring agent than you think you should. GET A DEHYDRATOR. Doing it on a smoker is a good idea, but if
I was going to get one or the other to make jerky, I'd go with the more versatile, less messy tool. it's also an inside
tool, which is good when it's cold. If you shop arond you can get one for 40 bucks. If you decide on a smoker
instead, watch your heat. You are not cooking meat, you are drying it.
