@GalvanAP One of the biggest advantages to a tumbler with jerky is that it doesn’t need to be held overnight, it can go right to the smoker. This is because all (or most at least) of the nitrite has been picked up. So, if you had a ton of water left over after tumbling then you’d probably want to hold it still, but in general, you should have very little liquid left and you should be good to go right to the smoker!
