Well every since i bought my Smoker i planed on making Jerky. This weekend i finally did it. My brother caught his first Deer so there was my incentive. He had 3 lbs cut up for Jerky and then i added another 3 lbs of top sirloin. used Hi Mountain Garlic and Pepper Jerky cure. 6 hours total time maintaining 165 degrees steady on the WSM 18.5. Lit 6 coals on top of a good amount of charcoal. Used apple and small amount of Hickory.
I didn't take too many pics but here you go:
Top row i did the toothpicks as i didn't have any other setup. It wasn't bad and i'll do it again.
Bottom row. Bottom row cooked much faster. Was done in 4 hours. I think because it was laying down on the metal which added heat.
Finished. it was missing about 5 oz's in this picture as my brother already took the bottom rack meat home:
I'm glad i finally did it. As my youngest son (3 years) doesn't eat a lot of meat but for some reason loved eating the Jerky. I'm going to pick up another 3 lbs this weekend and make another batch. I recommend everyone make Jerky on your WSM if you haven't done it yet.
