Hacks Christmas Jerkey

[Hackmaster]

Twas the day before Christmas
And all thru the swamp
The smokers are going
It's time to romp

OK, so I suck with poetry but I can make up a mean batch of snackin' jerkey
Follow along if you will on this holiday extravaganza.

A healthy looking six pound bottom round roast was sacrificed for this project.
I slice the roast into 1/4" thick slices, then cut those pieces into 2" or so strips.
The strips marinade overnight in magic swamp swill

And then are stabbed with toothpicks & hung on smoker racks

Meanwhile the fire in the smoker has been stoked

And when the coals have settled down to a nice ashed over mellowness

The racks of meat come back into play

They get placed in the smoker.
The hickory chunks have been soaked overnight in water & are added to the coals.
Now we let her smoke for hours...

Low & slow

This was just a tease, I'll be back with updates as the meat journey continues.
Back in a couple of hours...
Peace

So, are you making that for the next MOTH ???

If we ever have a MOTM here at the compound, I guarantee it!

 

[Hackmaster]

Oh I forgot to mention, I have a nine pound bone in prime rib about to go in the oven as well...

No dieting allowed at the swamp compound. Carnivores we are...

 

[eSGEe]

SAVE SOME FOR THE MOTM!!!!!!! lol

yummyness jerky

 

[Cadorman]

So, 150 F for the whole time? How long? What's in the marinade? What's the air speed of an unladen swallow?

Please return my All-Clad roaster when you are finished.

Swamp swill is an unholy mixture of...
port wine, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and anything else that may strike my fancy. Added some hot sauce one year just to spice things up.

Smokes @ 175-200 ish.

Ask a swallow.

[Session 5]

That is one heck of a nnnniiice meal that is being prepared by Chef Hack!!

 

[Trident]

Weeze don’t wear those here in the Swamp....

 

[Hackmaster]

OK, here's an update...

It's looking good.

Some pieces have come off, however they had to be turned over to quality control for inspection and sampling.
The remaining few that escaped QC looked like this...

That's about half of it. As it looks done (glossy deep maroon color) it gets plucked from the rack & inspected.

I'm surprised to hear that. Up here, I wear a (tender)loincloth all the time
