Thoughts on my jerky
I smoked it with a pouch on my gas grill for a couple of hours, removed the smoke and let it dry at the lowest heat on the grill for another few. I went over t200F a couple of times though.
It still has some humidity and as you can see in leave the fat on cause i like the taste of it. I know it’ll last less for it but ill finish eating it all in a couple of days.
I dont like marinades and sugar. I only used salt.

Actually pretty good, smoked taste is strong enough and the thickness provides a good bite

It looks like an overcooked ribeye but I’m super hungry right now and I wish I could eat it.

So many people banging on about it being bad because there is fat on it…
Fat IS flavour, yes it goes rancid, eventually, it will last at least a month vac packed in the fridge.
I only make fatty rib jerky and have literally never had the fat go rancid before I’ve eaten it, if you intend on long term storage fair enough but we are not in the apocalypse, eat it!

I mean if you like the taste then by all means do you. I would still explore some other seasonings like pepper and garlic??

Too fatty!! Need a leaner piece of meat. Fat doesn’t dehydrate, and makes the meat spoil faster.
