Jerky Question

[ricksegers]

I have made jerkey several times with the High Mountain products. I've done beef, chicken and turkey. I have done it in a smoker and in my oven. I caught an old episode of Good Eats a month or so back and Alton did it with the box fan and furnace filters in other words cold air dehydration. Has anyone tried this? Also any opinions appreciated?

i love alton but he kinda gets a little ...i dunno...overkill maybe? I put mine on dehyrdator and does fine. Also , lots of time , I will put it on smoker for just an hour or so to get some real smoke flavoring then onto dehyrdator.

I also love Alton. I've always meant to try this method but have never gotten around to it. Seems like it would be a truer form of dehydration. Anyone tried it?

I have done the fan thing. I smoked the strips first to add some flavor at 140f for 2 hours then on the fan. Worked like a charm.

I've done it with beef and venison with great success.
