Beef Jerky Question

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Tonight I saw Alton Brown make beef jerky by just using air to dry out the meat. I got to thinking that maybe just maybe there might be an egger or two that has tried making jerky on the egg. If so how did it turn out and what procedure did you use. TIA

    I tried it once and it was really nice.[p]This web site has a recipe that is probably very close to what I got.
    http://www.microwebtech.com/[p]If you like a chewy jerky, cut on the side of the grain, for a more softer jerky, cut across.[p]Took me probably around 4-6 hours at 225 or so. Best tip to give is to try it, turned out very good on my first time here. Humm I should do more this Summer!

    Retired RailRoader,
    Yep, its been done for years. For photos and instructions you can check out GFM's website for all the specifics. He has a lot of good info for newbies.
    His profile is (was?) listed here so check out his website and you should find what you need.
    later,

    Retired RailRoader,
    I love jerky from my egg. Below is a link to some great recipes, tips and instructions.[p]Try smoking cheese also. Some of the best cheeses I have tasted have been smoked. My favorites are smoked Swiss and Guda. To help keep the temperature around cheese real low (about 80°), I fill a lot of beer cans with water and freeze them. I place the cans around the cheese and change the cans out often. Search the archives for smoked cheese. There are some great cheese threads out there.[p]Smoking cheese gives me another reason to drink a lot of beer. :)[p]Beers to yah, BeerMike

    ChefRD,
    Do you have a link to GFM's web site? I looked at GFM's profile here and it was blank. BeeMike posted a link to a Kevi's web site that has some good info on jerky. Is this the link you mentioned? Thanks.

    I believe that would be GFW. I don't have a link to his site, but TNW has Wise One's cookbook which has a recipe from GFW for his River City Jerky. I have made it sevceral times with great results. It also contains many others also!! HTH[p]Chris[p]I should be pulling some pork in 6-7 hours!!!
