Kamado Joe Smoked Beef Jerky

Beef Jerky is a great snack to have on hand and your Kamado Joe grill is capable of making great smoked jerky at temperatures in the range of 160-175° with a little practice!

I actually did a video about this too and it is a real chanllenge to do this right. But when you are finished you end up woth a great product.
Excellent video John

You did great John! That's how you show mastery of your cooker! The jerky looked amazing brother!

[chipreames]

John, what was the ambient temp? Not sure my classic will stay that low, it's pretty close to 150 already here in SC.

jerky looks great John, only suggestion I would make is to take a paper towel and wipe off the extra juices before you place it on the grill. that will reduce the cooking time a bit

Looks like you nailed it Big John! Good marinade, nice cook! Rock On!  

[toddevans]

Doing the jerky with your receipe, I hung the meat from the extender. Can't wait till it's done!!

Trying this tonight on the big Joe for the first time. Used to a offset smoker that gave me over 1k sq inches I'm innovating. Already overshot my temp by 20 degrees so we will see

I've been thinking about trying this for awhile now.... on the smoker. How much charcoal did you go through at that low temp?

[AussieAngeS]

That jerky looks excellent. Would make for a fantastic snack full of protein. Yum. Great job John

If you hang your pieces from the rack via a toothpick I think you will get more yield. Slide a toothpick through one end drop the meet through the rack with the toothpick perpendicular to the grille grates.

That's great lookin jerky. I hit the like button as soon as I saw the A-1. Nicely done John.

How long does it keep, and do you keep it in the freezer?

[specialt]

Nice cook. This is tricky to do without putting out the fire because airflow is minimal.

[jiggaboo]

Aren't you supposed to cut jerky with the grain?

[MrJoshcc]

I didn't think you could get enough airflow on a kamado for this. I do it all the time on my cheap offset smoker because it leaks out of EVERYWHERE. Piece of cake keeping 150 degrees with high airflow to dry it.

Thanks for the information.
I'm going to try making beef jerky now.

[shawnmaybush]

I think you would be better off just hanging it from the grill grates. Able to get more in the joe at a time.

I'm more interested in the liquor than the recipe.

Question; how do you store the jerky once it's done?
