This afternoon I am slicing moose and elk that I will brine over night. In the morning it goes in the smoker. By late evening I will have a nice batch of jerky.
I am using my "Little Chief" smoker Austin. The dehydrator does not use "real" smoke and the "liquid smoke", to me, tastes like the smell of dog tootise rolls. I like apple or plum wood for smoking. I have some apricot wood that I'm going to try later. We only use the dehydrator for fruits and veggies.
Oddly enough,,,a dry piece of hickory..a wet piece of cherry and a dry piece of apple,,,amazing taste
First batch done! I used cherry and maple wood. One more batch tomorrow and I'll have a supply of pack snacks for deer season.
