love dried beef, but those little glass jars at $3.00 each ain't gonna happen.
I like to make and eat SOS on some big 'ol biscuits. Now I can, made my own. Not cheap but sure is good, finished cost $7.15 pound. Better than $3.00 for 3 oz. jar.
Used eye of round beef, very low in fat. Cured for 10 days in wet cure. Smoked for 8 hours, light smoke. Anyway here are the results. Hope you enjoy the tour. CF

Thanks CF. If I didn't have 20 pounds of Summer Sausage curing right now, I'd be headed to see my butcher.
Gotta love good ole Sh...tuff On a Shingle.

Thank guys for the nice comments, they are always welcome. Even if you see some way to improve what I am doing say so. Life is an on going learning experience.
