I got a "gentle" reminder from the crew at work that it had been a long time since I brought in some jerky ("HEY, you haven't brought in some homemade jerky in a long time!"). So, made some today using a modified version of one of Stogie's recipes. MM using only about 1/4 ring of lump and 6 lit K coals. Had to add 6 lit coals twice to maintain ~160-175 vent over 6.5 hours, hickory wood for smoke flavor. Rather than the toothpick method which works great but is a real PITA, I got some cheap grates as suggested by Stogie and stacked them using 2 inch blocks of 1x4. Worked great, started with just short of 3 lbs of round (marinated for 2+ days) and ended up with 1 lb, 5 oz of pretty tasty jerky.
