Jerky

[PetersCreek]

The Cabela's jerky cure is actually pretty tasty. I made up one batch a while back and I plan to do a few more to give as Christmas gifts.

Today, however, was a day for turkey. Bought a turkey breast on Friday...soaked it overnight on Saturday in a maple & brown sugar brine...then locked it in the smoker with 3 hours of cherry smoke plus another 4 hours of heat only.

Now that sounds like heaven!

Man, I wish I had a smoker!

You and me both Tom.

Before we moved Shooter treated us to some very excellent smoked meats. Damn, it was good!

 

[caudio51]

I have a friend that smokes meats, it's really easy I just need to pick up the 400 dollar smoker.

As I type, I have 8 pounds of sliced, cured meat coming up to temp in the kitchen and the smoker is almost up to temp...145°F and rising. Gotta love them wireless smoker thermometers!

Time to get things ready.

:drool:

Okay...the meat's in the box. I inverted the regular racks over the jerky racks to double shelf space...and still, I damn near didn't have enough room for all of it! It's set to smoke for 2 hours with hickory, followed by 1:20 with oak...since that was all the hickory I had on hand.

 

[caudio51]

Wow, that is one serious set up!

Oh and that looks damn good!

 

[CWS]

Thats it. Thats the one I want. Great machine.

Holy crap thats some serious smoking. You do whole animals in there too?

 

[PetersCreek]

Whole animals? Only if they're very small animals. :grin:

The Bradley is approximately the size of a dorm fridge. If you have a Sportsman's Warehouse in your area CWS, that's where I picked mine up. Cabela's has 'em, too.

Cabelas. I saw it at Cabelas and thought that is the ticket. MY apld smoker you put the dish on a burner under the meat and it heated too much. Thats thing is great!

Havn't had any good jerky in years. There is a lot of terrible stuff out there. Maybe I will have to learn how to make it.
