Making Jerky / Everything BBQ Tips Thread
Any of you guys make Beef Jerky? I have made a lot of wild game jerky over the years, but I have never had an end product that was what I would call fantastic. I have used about every cut of meat you can think of to make it with as well.

I have a buddy who makes the best jerky I have ever had, I'm taking not ever close. After six years, I finally talked him out of the recipe. I'm going to fire up the smoker Saturday and make some. I'm trying to figure out the best bang for the buck cut of meat to make this with. I know I want something with as little fat as possible. What cut do you guys use when you're making jerky? I was thinking top round?

I decided to expand this thread a bit and turn it into a BBQ tips and technique thread as well so people could share their tips, recipes, BBQ techniques or whatever floats your boat in the "Q" department.

Is the idea to use cheaper cuts because when they are marinaded and dried out you can't tell the difference?

Jerky is pretty pricey at retail level.

I like the spicy stuff myself.
My preference is flank. I got it on sale for $6/pound. I don't really care for the texture or flavor of eye of round, which a lot of folks use.

I like top and bottom round steak as far tenderness and flavor go. Flank is good too but so $$$$. I usually have to trim a bunch of fat off the flank too since fat is the enemy of jerky if you want it to last awhile. Lean, lean, lean is the key.

Half the articles say to cut against grain for tenderness.

Other half say cut with grain so it stays together.

WTF?

There's plenty of room in the stand. Seriously, it's an 8x10 platform mounted atop phone poles, a short wall for added camouflage and to steady the rifle, and Adirondack chairs (to sleep in [if you're my son])... It's as first class as first class gets!

Just a guess: if you are cooking meat you ALWAYS cut across the grain for tenderness for eating.

For jerky sliced so thin, maybe the with the grain makes sense as to hold it together and not fall apart.

That's my best guess.

Chase the Canadians and Snows because goose breast jerky is the best jerky IMO.
