Got an urge for jerky, and the temp outside makes it perfect for it.
Started with 5 1/2 lbs of Choice Eye of round:


Trimmed it up:


Sliced it at about 5/16" on my new slicer (which I forgot to take any pics of.) Marinated it for about 36 hrs in:
2 1/2 oz Tender Quick
1/4 cup Kosher
1/4 c Sugar
1/4 c Honey
cayenne
chillli pepper
gran garlic
water to cover.

A quick rinse and fry test said we were ready.

Peppered up and on the racks:



Currently on the BSNP @125.
 
Never used that TQ, but it sure makes the jerky making look very easy!

I'll have to wait I guess cause yours sure looks alot better then mine. I did something wrong but it was super dried out on the smoker. I didn't know anything about the tender quick either.
 
Well here's the finished jerky. It took pretty much 12 hrs @125. Tastes great. I ended up with just about 2 tubs full.
 
Well, going off of how long the bag that I brought to work lasted, I would say that this batch o jerky was a success.
