New Member (kangroo jerky)

[ebby]

Hi Yall, 

I just bought  a look alike Hark gas smoker, I think it is a cheap copy, I have used it a couple of times and it seams okay, I have cooked some pork ribs and turkey legs and got pretty good results,  hope to get better with practice and help from others.

I live in Australia and I don't know anyone who owns a smoker or has smoked meat so this web sight is great for getting good information and recipes,

I live in Australia and am keen to make Kangaroo jerky I can buy kangaroo meat from the local supermarket, so dose anyone have any ideas where to start kangaroo is a dark rich lean meat.

I have made South African style beef  Biltong a long time ago, I soaked it over night in a wet mix then hung to air dry it took a couple of 3 to 4 days depending on the weather and a bit hit and miss .

Cheers,

Ebby

Ebby,

Welcome to the forum, you will find a wealth of information on this site and a helpful group of smoke addicts to get you going in the right direction.  I can't say about kangaroo jerky, I'll let someone else tackle that.
