    Nice! I still use the dehydrator for mine, but maybe I do not need to.

    That was just how I packaged it. I marinated in a one gallon ziplock. Then you can swish the marinade around in the bag to make sure the flavors are distributed though out the soak.

    Looks good Spinaker! When I first made jerky I used a dehydrator but have switched to using the Primo. Here's a batch of elk jerky. I'm due to make some more.

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I was on the water for 7 days sans internet!

    I have made this on the KBQ and it is great. Just make sure you don't never shoot 165 F or you will have shoe leather jerky. Make sure there is ample space between pieces and that pieces are not overlapping. In the KBQ, you can pack a ton of jerky in there, just be vigilant and use your instant read to monitor the meat temp and you will be good to go. I use clean and dirty smoke to lay it on thick because you really don't have a ton of time in the smoke.

    Spinaker I believe you have a KBQ? Have you tried this recipe on it? If so, any cooking tips/suggestions adapted to that pit?

    I don't have a pellet grill. But it takes about an hour in a Kamado. I would guess it would be a little faster in a pellet rig, because of the increased airflow. Smoking joe

    All I've ever used is brisket flat. I buy it at HEB and get the butcher to slice it 1/4" thick with the grain. Bring it home and trim all the fat off then use one of the jerky kits from Academy.

    Nice! I am going to give it a go! I've got some round roasts thawing from the freezer now..
    Thanks for posting Spinaker, and looking forward to trying your recipe Powersmoke_80

    Glad to hear you liked it, did you compare it to any others? I like the adding ginger idea.
    A buddy at fish camp uses Mr Yoshidas marinade mixed with a commercial jerky mix and it had great flavor so I am going to replace the soy sauce with it and try it next time. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/mr-yosh...6-oz/163400.ip

The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

the good one grill
The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

PK 360 grill
The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

NK-22-Ck Grill
Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
