Hickory smoked Jack Daniels & Chipotle Beef Jerky

Howdy folks...

Im making some Beef jerky as im writing this.

Cut up some beef sirloin and marinated it for 36 hours in a mix of Worcestershiresauce, soy sauce, Tabasco, jack Daniels, Honey, Chipotle, Texasbbqrub, salt, pepper and hungarian Paprika.









Dried it this morning and used an inverted rib rack to hang it on.





Meanwhile i prepared the WSM.
Lined up some coconut briquettes, added hickory, lit one end with a small propane burner and set the bbq-guru to 140 F using the foil trick







Its holding that temperature for more than 3 hours now rock solid and the neighbours enjoy some hickory smoke in the morning.








More pics to follow as soon as its done.

I already know that its not gonna last more than 30 minutes once its done.

Next week im gonna buy a whole beef loin roast (9-10 pounds) and use some of that for the next batch.

Cheers,

Alrighty, its done and very tasty. The Jack Daniels does fine with honey and hickory, and the heat from various sources makes for a nice slow afterburn.
