thats some interesting use a/c filters, box fan and bungee cords...
and it saves me from get the dehydrator out of the cabinet :lol:

looking forward to the final product

4 paper air conditioning filters!!! That could get expensive. Might be cheaper to buy the jerky.:lol: Them things run me around $8 a piece. Looks like a good recipe.

[sweet_magnolia]

Good luck with it!

[Fishawn]

Yeah, not planning on going the route with the air filters, box, fan, bungees, gum, duct tape & posicle sticks..... Call me weird, but gonna go with the smoker for an hour then the dehydrator :faint:

[Mark R]

Kinda shy on the cure also, let me know how it comes out!

Would not we all resort to Box fans, duct tape, Superglue and bungees given the choice over a dehydrator?
:noidea:

[ThunderDome]

I'd like to see this

[ganny76]

Went to lowes this evening and picked up 3 box fans. Hoping to make a large batch this weekend. Haha. Let us know how it turns out fish.

Best if you stay away from Everclear!...:faint:

[Fishawn]

5 hours in the brine..... Did not get to the smoker, sat on paper towels for 10 minutes & patted them as dry as best I could..... Now in dehydrator..... House smells like Worchesteshire :thumb: :cheers:..... So far, so good I guess :noidea:

I was hesitant on the 3-6 hour soak time also, having almost always read 12-24 hours...... But, I am huge fan of Alton Brown & everything I have seen him do is Golden.

I dont even know what is going on here. Maybe i need some of 88's natties. The bacardi is not helping me interpret this. Lol

[DDave]

I think I'd add a proper amount of TQ just to be safe. :noidea:

Not trying to start that whole raging debate again but I distinctly remember bbally saying in the past that Alton Brown's casual attitude towards many aspects of food safety did not impress him.

Plus, I think Richtee's Red Wine Jerky Marinade kicks ass!! :thumb:

[Richtee]

No cure, either! The SAVINGS of this method! :whistle:

[Fishawn]

Jerky turned out decent, not much different than the other soy sauce based marinades I have used in the past, but does have a bit of a lingering heat to it. The 5 hour marinade is kinda handy in a pinch though if needed.

Your a Loser...BIG D maybe....not my deal.....Leave that cat alone...:nana2:

Yes, trophys and ribbons and folk hail us....:thumb:..lmfao ne..

I guess a big "whatever" is needed here :noidea:


Not sure what happened here. :noidea: You guys seemed to get along although rib each other a bit. Oh well. :noidea:

Jerky looks good to me. :thumb: I may have to give that recipe a go, but with TQ and minus the liquid smoke. I like lingering heat. :thumb:

i know, i know the cooking wisdom of tim the tool man taylor

the final product looks great :thumb:

[curious aardvark]

so far not been impressed with alton brown stuff - never heard of him till this forum anyway lol
Just seems to be a telly presenter who's researchers get him recipes from the internet.

So what's a box fan ?

Wouldn't worry about the cure rich. That's a shitload of salt in the soy and worcestershire.

Way too much of both for my tastes.

You don't need to cure jerky rich. (where's that dead horse when you need it)
:deadhorse:

IT's thin salted meat that is cooked and dried. bacteria doesn't get much of a look in.

These days I just like the colour, texture and flavour cure imparts. But probably lots of the stuff I cure would be fine without it.

That's pretty much how bbally sums him up.

But he does have some helpful info and tips on some of his shows. :thumb:

:lol: I guess if it don't kill ya it makes ya sick or stonger :noidea:.
I just watched the video and. . . I don't think so the thought of no cure for one and having dust and other junk blown into the filter and the little stuff going through doesn't really appeal to me.
