    Hey this is cool

    Our local Walmart has this pre-sliced round roast called Milanesa, not sure what it's supposed to be for, but will be easy for jerky. It's a bit thinner than I normally like but having it all like this, and same price per lb as a whole roast, I'll live with the thinner slices.

    Jerky Recipe ?

    I am going to try that standard jerky recipe, never actually have done that by the book. But, I can't find it on here, I know I saw it somewhere before, it had worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, I think it said how much cure to use per amount of liquid.. dang it, I cannot find it...

So thought I'd get a little electric smoker that I can use in the garage by the door with the big door open, at least be...

    Cure amount in wet 'brine'

    Hey folks, been years since I've been here. But now I have a question... it's something that seems wrong. I read things about curing salts vs lbs of meat, for dry that makes sense, but not for wet. Here is why It seems like the concentration is the key, not the lbs of meat. Like lets say for...

    Killer good and super tender jerky

    A few months ago I decided to try making jerky, it turned into a quest to get exactly the flavor and texture I was looking for. After trying many recipes and cooking methods online, then adding my own ideas in and experimenting, I finally hit the jackpot. This jerky is the best jerky I've ever...

    Cool find

    Was at Walmart yesterday, in their meat section they have packages of what they call 'stir fry meat'. I looked at it, it's actually top round presliced into perfectly sized jerky strips. I bought a pack, making it today, man now that is convenient!

    Marinade Recipe?

    Hey folks, looking for a good savory marinade that's not the usual soy/Worcestershire stuff. I kinda hate that flavor, but every recipe I see is soy and Worcestershire  :/.   I've been making jerky back to back for 2 weeks, getting good at the texture now. Yesterday I even tried a backwards...

    Cure question

    Curious... If I buy a roast, I can toss it on the smoker, pull it off when it's 130 at the center, slice and eat. How come if preslice it for jerky and Smoke to 170 I have to cure it first?

    What would happen if...

    What would happen if you made jerky like this, would this work? Get meat, slice and cure like usual, but then... Put slices in a slow cooker, really low temp, with flavor liquid, like beef broth, Worcestershire, etc. Let slow cook till really tender THEN smoke for a bit THEN put in...

    Fast but good?

    I started making jerky recently, had a good batch, a couple decent and one oops. It always takes quite a while, using tips I read here on the forum. Our local grocery store makes their own jerky, it's really good. The other day I was in there and got to talking to the guy behind the counter...

    would this work...

    Hey, would it work to 'post cold smoke' already cooked pulled meat to really get it smokey all the way through? Like cook a pork butt all the way, pull it into shreds, put on a perferated dish/pan then cold smoke the shreds for a while?

    Slow day, just working in my home-shop, so gonna give ribs another try. I've made pork ribs on the upper BBQ rack before that came out great, beef ribs I've never had them come out good on either the Q or the Brinkman. Today, I'm loading up and cooking both. Hoping you experienced ribbers out...
