Hi Everyone,
My SI3 has been in storage and I haven't had a chance to smoke for some time now. I finally had a chance to make some jerky with the Jerky Cannon.
I seasoned the extra lean ground beef using 'Hi Mountain' seasoning as follows:
1 lb beef with Cajun seasoning
1 lb beef with Mandarin Teriyaki seasoning
2 lbs beef with Hickory seasoning
I used 1 and a half oz of Apple wood chips pre-soaked in water. I then started the smoker at 180 to start the smoke and added my four shelves of jerky strips to the smoker for 30 mins, then dropped the temperature to 125 and added the jerky fan.
It took approximately 14 hours to complete, but well worth the wait. Below are a few picks of the results for your enjoyment. Some of the pieces obviously didn't make it onto the tray or the pics. The jerky turned out great, however next time I will turn the temperature up to 140 when I add the jerky fan to cut down on the time.
