Screwed that one up

[Mossy]

Cut up and marinated 7lbs last night. Ran out of room in the smoker so the other 3lbs went into the dehydrator. Well, I kicked up the temp on the smoker to 200 to get the chips going but forgot about it when I started filling the dehydrator. Walked outside and found they got cooked for a good 10 minutes. Pretty sure they are going to have to get tossed

What are we maybe tossing out?

[Mossy]

Thinking the jerky in the smoker got too hot.

Well, I look at it this way. Like I used to tell my guys in the Marine Corps:

If you don't make a mistake, you aren't trying hard enough. Make the same mistake twice, you ain't learning.

So, you're good to go in my book.

Hell, I've screwed up all kinds of myself. Done some twice too

10 minutes maybe OK.

[Fishawn]

I'd stick with it..... You might be OK I'm thinking.

I think so too... Heck I've dehydrated in the oven before with the door cracked open and it was good.

What's the big deal? Prolly be fine. What did you use for a cure?

[Mossy]

I used tenderquick. I'll keep it going but I think they are toast.

Well, not saftey wise. Worse come to worst... dice it up for salads... or maybe a modified:

All the color ended up in the bottom of the smoker. Guess I could have kept it in a few more minutes and made Fajitas.

No qview, didn't happen!

No qview, didn't happen!

yeah right. I dont believe you are even making jerky. but if you are and it got hot for a short spell, i'd still eat it. I'ts gonna be fine.

Curious on outcome?

[Mossy]

I figured you'd ask...Dehydrator jerky turned out better, had to toss some from the smoker for getting way too dry but you guys were right, most turned out alright.
First pic is the pos slicer I bought awhile back for bacon, it decided to crap out after 5 uses. The pic of the meat on the dehydrator rack is actually some of the mess from the smoker, the rest is a mixture of the good pieces. Taste was pretty good, needs more heat for me but others think it's just right. Glad you guys talked me into saving what I could!
