Cleaned out this old smoker, wire brushed the grates, and built a fire on the dirt floor with some cherry wood. Only processed five pounds of lean rump roast, just in case I screwed it up. Used ‘Walton’s Bold Jerky Seasoning’. Got a lot to learn about trying to control the temp, but I guess that’s part of the fun. The other part is eating the jerky. Amazing! Next batch is gonna be a lot bigger.
