I'm getting low on Beef Jerky so yesterday I mixed up 5 lbs. of Ground Beef and mixed in my seasoning. I let it sit in the fridge overnight and this morning my son used the Lem Jerky Cannon to create the strips. I went to this style Jerky after my problems in February because it's easier on me than Beef Sticks or sliced Beef Jerky. The EX6 settled in at 170 once I put the meat on but that only lasted for an hour when the temp began to very slowly climb. The first rack came off at 4 hrs. and 20 min. but the temp shot up to 240 and after only 30 minutes the rest was finished. I changed the Franks Red Hot in the recipe to Tobasco Sauce and later thought I should have just tried t on a pound of Beef. I lucked out. The taste of the mixture was very vinegary but the taste of the final product was great but I need to adjust the heat up. Cayenne next time. My son thinks it tastes like Jack Links Original. I'm not sure about that but the taste is a familiar one.
