Brazilian Fire Deer Jerky on the kettle

[Bob Correll]

Venison from my son's last year deer.
Brazilian Fire rub, brown sugar, soy & Worcestershire sauces, garlic & onion powders, plus a little Tender Quick for the marinade.
Drained and well dried.

A short snake with WI hickory. (thanks Jim!)

Basket set up on an antique fireplace pot trivet.

My little snake, tented with foil, would have been great for cheese, but not up in the safe zone of 140+ for meat.
So I added some lump, and more hickory.

After a couple hours of smoke it went into a dehydrator for a few hours.

When nearly dry, it went back on the kettle with lump and apple wood.
I let it run up to 180 this time for about an hour.

The remains, after snacking and sending some home with our nephew.

Not my best, but darn good with a little kick.

Thanks for viewing, have a great rest of the weekend!

maybe not YOUR best but it looks better than anything I've ever made with my Ronco Food Dehydrator!

and I've made A LOT of jerky!

Some of the best was done in the uncle's basement hung on strings.....some in the oven too...never over charcoal yet.

I've got my WSM going right now, getting ready to make 4 lbs of your bacon. After seeing this post, I know what is next! Looks great, Bob. I see you have a huge storm coming your way. Good luck with that. You can hunker down, watch football and eat your jerky.

Great looking jerky, Bob. I was ready to eat it after just the first pic.

I've tried smoking jerky twice. Both times it came out something other than jerky, that the raccoons wouldn't even eat.
So now I just make it in my American Harvester dehydrator. It's one of those things I do for the dog, as she loves jerky for her treats, and I don't have to worry if her treats have been recalled or not.

Bob, your jerky looks fine to me!

 

[Tim McCann]
