Jerky the Right Way????

If you read the jerky forum, you will notice most of us use smokers to make our jerky. No arguments here.

Your wrong!....LOL!

I like to use tender quick in my jerky, but yes it is done in the smoker...to each his own!

I throw TenderQuick in my jerky also.

What no recipe. Now I have to figure what to call that dried meat and fish in the fridge.
Keep in mind, there is a hundred different ways to cook an egg. As long as it taste good, who cares how it was cooked?

I liked the girl in the bikini in the background walking across the "set". Mr. Cohn mentions that the meat will continue to cook after taking out of the smoker. I thought the idea of jerky was to dry the meat, not cook it.

Oh well, there's a thousand ways probably to make jerky, and I am certainly no expert. But I do know there are experts on this forum and that's my first place to turn to for advice.

Impressive knife skills! I wish I were that fast!

See pic. Peeled Knuckle 1/8 inch thin smoked on a FEC 100. Nuff Said!

Chaplain, that looks MIGHTY TASTY!!!

Chaplaiin- now that's what I'm talkin' about- a mighty tasty lookin' jerky.

BOOYAH!

Joe, that looks amazing. Me and our Soldiers over here can attest to some of you ‘all’s jerky firsthand. This forum has some of the best jerky in the world. We ought to all band together, we'd make a million.

Personally, the FEC is the perfect Jerky machine. Dry Heat and invisible clean smoke that blasts nitrates all the way thru the meat. None Better!

Joe M- MMMMM-MMMMM

Agreed. Looks like someone wants to promote their youtube video instead of joining in and discussing jerky.

Recipe would be nice.

The RIGHT way to make JERKY

I agree with you jerky made in oven is infact not very delicious also. Your video is quite helpful. Thanks for sharing and letting us know the right way.

In Cohen's video, the brine recipe looks interesting so I bookmarked it. Also, interesting to see that the cook cuts his jerky into 1/2" strips...from what looks like a sirloin tip.
