Grilling Beef Jerky

Unknown

I had heard once from somewhere that it was possible to grill beef jerky on the egg. Anyone have any idea how?

<p />Big Tree,
I use as a base Gfw's River city recipe then add my spices. Cook at 175-200 for about 8-10 hours. Go easy on the smoke as it might give the meat a bitter taste. Try a little and eggsperiment before a large batch.[p]CWM

Big Tree, its pretty easy. Use indirect heat as low as you can get it and still keep the fire going. My first try @ beef went great. Today I'm giving salmon jerky a shot. [p]I'm not to sure how to tell if salmon is "jerky" though. If anyone has a tip, thanks.[p]here's the jerky @ 11:00:[p]

Did some this afternoon. Marinated overnight, smoked at 160 deg F for about 6 hours. I cut the pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Put a toothpick through the ends and hung them from the grill. Delicious.

Big Tree,
my best results required 2 grills (good excuse for a second) and a length of aluinum dryer vent. used one grill for the fire, then ducted the smoke into the bottom vent of the second grill. i was able to keep the temp rise from ambient to 8 deg with heavy smoke.
jerky is dried not cooked so keep tempd low mine was 86 lastime i did it. and yes i used my bbqguru on the grill with the fire. i probably posted the methods ect i used but that was monthe ago.

<p />jwitheld,[p]Like this?? I never thought to do jerky this way. I have cold smokes fish and made smoked cheese this way with good results. I may have to try it on jerky sometime. What difference to you think this way has compared to doing it indirect on one grill?[p]huck[p]
