I've done several batches of beef jerkey in the smokette. I use the Hi-Mountain Jerkey cures and follow the instructions included with the package. So far, I've used the teriayki and the bourbon BBQ flavors. I add a little extra flavor by marinating the beef in teriayki sauce or BBQ sauce for 24 hours, then wash the meat and apply the cure. Typically smoke at 225 for 1.5 hours with 1-2 oz of wood. Results are excellent. You can find hi-mountain at
