Sniper-T is the man!

I bet that jerky must be yum! What spices do you use?!

Most times it's different. whatever happens to strike my fancy.

The batch I have on the go right now, I have nothing but cuban spice on (from Epicure), it's a really nice spice blend, and since I was talking about cuba with a couple people on another forum, I got reminiscing.

For the other 3 batches that I froze:
1. is with a medium-hot blend of cayanne, paprika, chili, garlic, and ginger.
2. is ketchup (powder), BBQ, thyme, Rosemary, and onion.
3. is roasted garlic, mushroom, black pepper, cumin and sage

Turned out awesome! I generally package a bunch up to store right away, or there isn't any left to package up. lol

I'll get a few pics up probably tomorrow.

I left it in the spices for 3 days in the fridge, mixing it around a couple times a day.
Then I put it on the dehydrator for about 4 hours at 135 deg.

Then I put it into the smoker, and blasted it with a combination of Oak and mesquite for about 4 hours (low temp)

Then I put it back in the dehydrator to firm up a bit more. about another 4 hours at 110 deg.

result is a nice chewy tasty treat.
