Thanks, great video. Have been using your fogo from HD. Great product. AND that W sauce is the BOMB. Anyone out there that hasn’t tried it is missing out.

Your right the gas station stuff is crazy expensive. This looks amazing!! I just got my green egg and did a clean burn in it following your other video! Thank you!

Great looking jerky and I’ve learned today that the BGE table is very sturdy!

I am always amazed at how simple this is to do, inexpensive and tastes fantastic!

Can’t wait to try this in the Egg! We’re getting ready to take a big 5k mile road/camping trip. This will be a great road treat!

[randydodson]

Thanks for showing us this. Love making it now.

[kathyherrington]

I’m very impressed with the ease of making beef jerky! Will try it on my green egg!

[Itseli]

Great video Ron. I always take something away from your videos. Deer season is upon us and I hope to bag a deer so I can do this on my BGE. Keep the videos coming! How about a venison smoked chili recipe in the future?

[MW-nbyy]

I can’t wait to try this. What cut of beef was used?

[LICENSETOGRILL]

Love jerky and it’s been a minute since I’ve made my own. Thanks for the inspiration!

[benstrauss]

Thanks Capt ron, I've been wondering if I could do that low on my egg!

[bibbidi_bobbidi_bacons]

Appreciate ya!! Yall have a lower carb version? Thanks for your time

[TxCowboy]

Do you have to hang the pieces? Is it ok to just lay the pieces directly on the grate above the plate setter? OK course you have to be carefull that they don't fall through. Or, what about hanging on skewers from the grate? I can't wait to try this.

[susanjackson]

Looks absolutely amazing!! Gotta try this asap!!! Thanks for the great tutorial!! 👊🏼

[ferniec]

Man I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for the recipe Ron! I’m goin’ to make it extra spicy.

[Itseli]

I’ve had my meat marinating for about 4 days, little longer than I wanted but haven’t had the time to do it but tomorrow is the day. Looking forward to this “drying session”. I’ve done jerky on my dehydrator but this will be my first on the egg. Can’t wait. Thanks Ron.

[sheilacarter]

What type of meat should you use for this? Thank you!

[Keith]

Thanks for the video on how to do this. My biggest problem is keeping the fire that low. You must shut the bottom vent and leave the top vent open?
