More Bradley snack sticks

[muebe]

I made some more ground beef jerky sticks using my new LEM jerky gun. I used a 5lb mix of 80/20 chuck. Meat was seasoned with Backwoods regular jerky mix, some cayenne pepper for heat, and cure#1. Started the Bradley with convection fan on to 155F. Gave them 5 pucks of Applewood smoke. Slowly progressed to a finishing temp of 170F. Drying time was 6 hours

Question, if using a NON modified bradley what would be the time?

Not sure Tommy...maybe 1/3 more time. You would also need to rotate the racks many times to get even drying also.

Muebe..what can you tell me about the Cure#1? Can I substitute with something else. Don't know of anyone here local that supplies this. Well, maybe TSC or something odd like that. We have a GFS & Sam's Club. Thanks.
I meant it about the baby brother thing..look how much help you were with my cold smoker..made me look real good.

Pam I just ordered some from Amazon. You don't need a lot so a $5 bag will last a long time. The Backwoods seasonings are very good and come with the cure also. I suppose you could use Morton Tender Quick but it would be way too salty. I would not skip the cure when using ground beef or you might get sick

Shoot - Tommy you are the  Modification Madman....next thing you know, I will be seeing posts of your Uber - Modded Bradley that is powered by a V-8, and the heat is from routing the exhaust thru the box!

Muebe..good thought there..thanks... I saw it on amazon and am gonna order it. I have fresh venison to deal with, gonna kick it up a notch with fresh jalapenos, some cayenne and use my electric smoker. the weather is in the 40's so I think I'm not gonna try and cold smoke them. Probably next week I will be able to.  Pammie ★*˚°。°

OK muebe you got me hooked and I have been looking around the net for jerky guns.

Can I use a regular pork/beef rub and cure  and turn out with the same results?    Thinking about GunPowder sticks in the Bradley what you think??   

 

[muebe]

Tommy you can season it with whatever you want but just remember the flavor will intensify as they dry. Gunpowder is a real strong flavor so experiment with small batches until you get the measurement right.

I only use a little over half of the backwoods seasoning because using the correct amount gives too strong a flavor IMHO

Tommy...Nesco make a nice jerky gun and they have the seasoning packs also. I have used them before, but like to add my own heat, usually cayenne and dehydrated jalapenos that I grow and dehydrate myself. Pammie ★*˚°。°
