We Found The Best Jerky

Smoking: Smoking is a form of drying that offers additional flavor to the final product without the extreme dehydration that is found in some jerky. While a smoker can create a softer, more pliant jerky if that is your goal, the true benefit of smoking meat is the depth of flavor one can achieve as one varies the environment. Drier environments can also be achieved using a smoker, so they can offer great flexibility in terms of the final product. If you decide to use a smoker do not use any soft woods such as pine, fir or conifer due to the potentially dangerous compounds present in these types of wood. Alder chips or apple wood are excellent choices for wild game as the flavors compliment each other nicely. -
