Re: Beef Jerky
There's lots of different kinds of jerky - - - - - chicken, beef, venison and etc - - - - as far as spicy is concerned, it really depends on the individual. Some of the best I have managed to make was from a London Broil (very little marbling) or Venison Roast (very lean also). I sliced it thin and cross grain (some like it tuffer with the grain) gave it a good dusting with salt and black pepper and smoked with Kingsford charcoal over a water pan in my ECB. Since I like a lot of pepper flavor in mine I also sprinkled on coarse ground black pepper during the smoke. You could marinate the sliced meat in something prior to smoking but I chose not to marinate and let the meat stand for itself.
Good Luck and be sure and let us know what you decide to do - - - we love cooking pics

Re: Beef Jerky
I've tried all kinds of jerky recipes, but it is hard to beat Hi Mountain for taste and convenience.

10-4, Oakie,
I used that on some for my Step Grandaughter's Christmas one year. Best of all it can be acquired at Academy (the MAN'S TOY store
)

Re: Beef Jerky
Backwoods by LEM is also good. But be warned -- the Cajun jerky is HOT.

Re: Beef Jerky
I usually don't do more than will be eaten in a relatively short time so I don't need the "cure", just S&P. However, I would imagine if you did a large quantity it would be necessary. ?right Oakie?

Re: Beef Jerky
If you made a bunch of jerky like I plan on this deer season could you smoke and vacuum seal it and put it in the freezer for an unlimited amount of time if you don't use curing agent? I don't see why not if you can put fresh meat up for at least a year.
Realistically it probably wouldn't last 3 months. Last 3 lb round I made into jerky last all of 2 days.

Re: Beef Jerky
although I've never done it, I would think that smoked jerky that was vacuum bagged would easily last a year in the freezer
BUT, AS YOU KNOW - - it may suffer from Human Consumption and not last but a short time

I agree I brought some for the guys at work overseas and only one bag made the full journey out of three.
