Venison jerky started today

Working on 20lbs of venison jerky today.
Pretty basic black pepper recipe that I put in the vacuum tumbler then out to the cold smoke side of my smokehouse for most of the day. I then move to our dehydrator until the water activity gets right. -

Looks great! I actually had a bottom round roast in the freezer and decided to try my hands at making soft jerky. Wish me luck!!
Dr_Pain Good luck!! I bet it’s going to be great

Dr_Pain do you go by weight loss? And if so, is starting weight the meat before or after the marinade has been applied?
-
My starting weight was 2lbs 12oz (before marinade) and end weight was 1lbs 11oz. I did not go by weight loss. I followed the schedule and used the dehydrator to dry to the consistency I was looking for. The IT was 160 when I pulled it off the smoker. They were good but too soft for my liking. I also wanted a shelf stable product so needed to dehydrate a little more

Dr_Pain Mine are usually to soft as well so I leave them on the racks and let them air dry a day or 2.
Because they’re for customers I check them with an activity meter to make sure.
