Does anyone have a good receipe to use for deer jerky using a hot smoker?

Again Mike Alexander provided this recipe for Jerky. We've used it with a drier rather than a hot smoker. Might try it with one:

Mike Alexander's Recipe for Venison Jerky

3 lbs. Meat cut very lean. Slices should be 1/8 to 3/16" thick.
1/2 C. Worchestershire Sauce
1/2 C. Soy Sauce
2 Tsp. Msg
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
1 Tsp. Black Pepper
1 Heaping Tsp. of Red Pepper
2 Tsp. Liquid Smoke

Place the sauce in a bowl. Individually dip the pieces in the sauce to be sure that complete coverage is achieved.In the end, the meat in a bowl should be just covered. Let meat soak in frig. 12 to 24 hours. Dry till there isn't a soft center to be felt.

One note of caution. Not all Worchestershire Sauces are the same. This recipe is best with Kroger brand sauce ... and it's cheap!

thanks,

I have used soy sauce, terriaki sauce individually or mixed. Or just Worchestershire sauce. Marinate in a bowl for 12 -24 hours in the fridge and then dry in a 125 degree oven or a dehydrator.

I don't like pepper so I don't use it in mine.

What temperature does the smoker generate? You wnat to make sure that you dry the meat and not cook it for long term storage.
Let us know what you end up doing.

Thanks for the replies. My son will try on his smoker unit.

when i make jerky, I often cut it thicker and let it soak longer, (just personal preference )

I some times add hot sauce to a recipe similar to Mstarling's and roll mine in cruched chillies before smoking for a spicy jerky

All,
I have an electric smoker grill but have never tried to make jerky on it as the temp to me seems to hot to make it properly. How would I go about it? What temperature should I shoot for? ... additional questions I dodn't even realize I need to ask go here.....

Thanks

I do one like Mike Alexander's...

You guys are making me hungry!!! I use a receipe similar to the one mstarling posted except I use no msg and substitute Louisiana hot sauce for the red pepper.
Good stuff....

I've usually go to the grocery store and get a bottle of some type marinade. It come in all kinds of different flavors and from mild to spicey hot. One of my favorites is called Jamacan Jerk which winds up being pretty hot. But that's the fun part, you can experiment with different flavors. Have fun!

I made my first batch on my electric smoker, and I have one piece of advice: go easy on the wood, a little smoke goes a long way with jerky. I marinated one batch in teryaki (sp?), one in Worchester(sp?) sauce, and one I just used Lowry's seasoned pepper. The smoke flavor just about covered up all but the seasoned pepper, which was fairly hot.
Good luck!

I use a recipe similar to mstirling, but I also add a-1, bbq sauce and brown sugar for sweetness. I also use ground red pepper instead of seeds, it is much hotter.

Buy high Mounted jurkey mix I use it and my jurkey turens out good after abount 4 houres in my dehyderator.good luck with your jurkey.
