hi mountain jerky

fishguy.. I was replying to your post and it disappeared.. you must have killed it as I was writing.. OK, so you changed forums with your topic.. way to fake a guy out..


There are a ton of threads on both Jerky and Tri-tip. I'd think tri-tip might be a bit expensive for jerky but it's a great cut.

You might try THIS for some good info. Dave has documented a couple of his cooks.. but any lean cut of beef should be great.. especially the tougher cuts that might tend to have the least intramuscular fat.. flank.. maybe round, chuck, etc.

Good luck

sorry about the move smokenqueue, someone moved my post, not me. guess they cant recognize a bonafide smokette owner. anyhow, the jerky came out as good as i could hope on a first try. next time, i will do the initial 2hr smoke, then run it another 45min or so with the door cracked. my jerky has great flavor, but it's pretty moist. thanks for the reply, the tri-tip was a bit spendy, but i splurged for vacation!!!! lake powell here i come.
