  • So I bought these skewers...

    I found these bamboo 16" skewers online. They fit perfectly in my smoker cabinet and sit on the rack holders. Making some venison jerky with them today.



    I'm experimenting with a new curing method where I cut the strips extra big and cure them with a salt/sugar/cure mix for a couple of days and then they are seasoned with garlic and onion powder, black and red pepper, worstershire and low sodium soy.

    After they are cured I put them in my wine fridge overnight. They formed a nice tacky pellicle (aka the all important pelican skin ). As a bonus, my wine fridge is also 16" and they fit perfectly on the rack guides there also.





    7 pounds of meat .

    So far so good.... nice when a plan comes together!

        My best asset however is the inspiration from the members on this forum.

                      good looking Jerky, Keith.

                      Quick question for ya King...I always let a pelicle form on my smoked salmon. Why is it necessary (or desired) on Jerky. I have been taking it straight from the bag it cured in and stringing it up for smoke...maybe I should let it dry a bit first?

                          I think they take on smoke better when you dry them up some first. If you cured them, you could even just dry them overnight at room temperature with no problem. I have never actually had a pellicle on my jerky before, but I never really marinaded these, and they are super thick, so they were not that wet to begin with, so it kinda just happened.
