No, I figured at 165 Super Smoke for 7 hours would be plenty, didn't want to over do it.

Project complete, 10lbs of meat yielded 3.75lbs of Jerky.

All bagged up and in the freezer, last batch was one week before the "Lockdown".

Now this batch is ready for the insurrection....

Peace out

Nice work! Love the ZipLock vacuum bags. Too bad they went out of bidness, but I loaded up on a bunch at killer prices.

Note to self, remember to shuffle shelves AND to check hourly after 4 hours!

Jerky was almost over done at 7hrs, boy, that would have been devastating! But, it came out great, rewarding project.

People always ask where I got this nice rack. SWMBO won't let me discuss it.

I have one of those ones that sit on the kitchen counter. I've never wiped my meat off before i put it in there. I'm going to try some smoked jerky next time. I don't think my Texas elite will go below 180. Do you guys think that would be ok? If i leave mine on the smoke setting it goes nearly to 225 at times...

Should be fine, just keep an eye on how done you want it as you learn your particular grill.

Beef jerky is one of my favorite smoker treats. Check your local Walmart, they have been stocking a number of different thin sliced beef products. As OP said, eye of round in also a perfect cut for jerky. I marinate mine in Dales Steak Seasoning. Simple and tasty..

I see beef jerky in my not to distant future. I scored a Bull rack BR6 off of Craigslist today. It's not the ultimate model, but for $50 who cares.

The guy that sold it to me said he only used it once or twice and only used 4 trays.

Great score, congrats!
