I got enough deer in the freezer and have been thinking about making some jerky out of it. I don't have a drier but may be I can keep it on the Weber real low? Anybody here done this sort of thing? I am all eyes for any recipes or tips. Thanks. Tom

You can always use your oven. Google oven jerky and you'll find tons of recipes.
Here's a few recipes:
Oven-Dried Beef Jerky
1 pound flank steak (deer or elk also work)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cloves large garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Put flank steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until firm, but
pliable. Slice the steak very thinly across the grain, about 1/8-inch
thick. Or, ask your butcher to do it for you when you purchase the meat.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic,
Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Mix well and
combine with meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to
180 F. Place meat on a wire rack on a baking sheet and bake for 12 hours,
or until meat is dried (it should bend, but not snap). Store in an
airtight container when cool.
Makes 6 servings.
Venison Jerky
3 lb. venison
2/3 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder

Slice venison into 3/4 inch strips. Marinate overnight. Cook directly on

6 hours at low over temperature. Store in covered container.

I recommend a good quality dehydrator such as an Excaliber or equivalent. They are moderate in price, have very effective temp controls, and are very efficient. I do not recommend the "round" styles of dehydrators for jerky, although they do work. Get your smoke flavor from your low and slow "q" rig, then finish in your dehydrator. I have used this method for years, and it is very efficient and effective.

Got 2 shoulders thawing. Got to agree with Jerod... It's pretty much gone in no time. This could be a business and a half. When I have Deer jerky in my pocket, my dog know what the heck I got! My dog has a pretty tough stomach... He loves hot sauce...And like most of us, he will only eat regular dog food as a last resort...I do a cooking show "Cooking with Buster". I don't know the limit on the video here...perhaps I will improve them a little and put on YouTube?
