Last week, Mrs Ranch told me it was time for me to get the remaining venison jerky done because she needs room in the freezers. Being a obedient husband, I fired up the smoker & did a total of 4 batches... somewhere between 165-180 pounds at the start.
Jerky is very simple to do, it smokes at 145 degees for 3 hours then flip... do another 1.5 hours at the same temp & then finish at 175 for the last hour. Good to go!!!
I also found time to pick a dozen good-sized japs for that night's meal. We both love bacon wrapped, stuffed japs right off the smoker (of course I did have to sample one for QC purposes)!!!
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
