    Backstrap jerky

    Buddy of mine dropped off a few backstraps. His freeze crapped out and I never turn down free meat.

    I grilled some over the weekend which was excellent, but its too much to eat all of and I would hate to waste it.

    I have read through the jerky article on the free side and fortunately I have everything I need unless I drank all the bourbon with the weekend grilling

    My question is about actually cooking it - I have an SNS Kettle Deluxe and a PBC. PBC seems too hot for jerky. So I am thinking SNS Kettle, set up for low and slow, only lightly like 5-6 coals to start off, no water. Not sure I can really keep this thing down at 200 but if I'm closer to 225, will this still work?

    I've never made jerky out of backstraps, but yes, you can get that kettle down to whatever temp you need. 220 or lower yet.

      225 is fine for jerky.

        I only smoke my jerky for a short time before going in the dehydrator. IMO colder is better. If you "cook" it too high the texture suffers. I basically cold smoke it for 30 minutes to an hour, then dehydrate at 140° for 7-7.5 hours. Never used the recipe on here.
