Beef Jerky?

[Radar]

Quite a few here are referring to home-made jerky, how would you go about doing that, is special equipment required??

I remember watching a Ray Mears TV proggie, where he made venison biltong up in scotland. He just sliced it laterally to get thin contiguous pieces and air dried it. He made a little tee-pee type thing from branches and lit a very small fire underneath. The smoke from the fire kept the flies off and the heat helped keep the air in the teepee dry as the leaves trapped it somewhat.

So, get yourself a reasonable sized forest, Bambi & Ray Mears and you'll be laughing.

Hmm that £50 doesn't look so bad now

pretty much a box with some holes in the top and bottom to get airflow past the meat, a light bulb in the bottom and a dowl to hang the meat off nd some pepper and corriander. you can make that for a LOT less than 50 quid

that sounds interesting. not something i've heard of before.

I just buy the beef jerky hot and sweet in a store, but my friend smokes the salmon to jerkiness for me, she uses brandy and a whole bunch of other stuff that I'm not sure of, it is fantastic tho', she has a home-made smoker thing. (can you tell I don't pay attention, just love the finished product?)

Picked up these tonight at Aldi

The Wagyu is amazing. The bacon a bit underwhelmed by. Smoked salmon I am curious about but will try tomorrow

Biltong is far superior
