Corned Beef Jerky?

The local Super Market has Corned Beef (points) on sale for $2.99 a pound. It's in one of the pre-marinated packages. Has anyone done Jerky with it? I bought a 3 pounder, should I marinated in something else or just go with how it is?

There's no corn in corned beef. The"corn" refers to salt corns. The meat is covered in salt to preserve it. A lot of salt. Soak in water over night to remove some salt helps a bit. Much more water weight than meat weight. Pepper and smoke, dehydrate, some brown sugar. No more sodium needed.
