Beef Jerky

[John S.]

I got a little shed out back and most of my accessories are stored there….
10 buckets and 12 bags plus Al -and Treager cleaner, rib rack, Al foil ect….

Timmy suggested a portable canopy to protect the grill. I am beginning to think that this may be good idea. Build a shed to hide all the gear and an extension to protect the grill. Or go whole hog like the GrillMeister and build a whole outdoor kitchen!

I must admit part of then fun is the endless ways to configure everything. The Traeger is jus the starting point!

I bought a 'market tent' last year for mine. It worked well. Easy enough that one person could put it up or take it down in under 5 minutes
They work really well

Yeah, I’ve got so many accessories now that I’m looking for a rolling cart or similar to keep it all in. Found a decent tool cart at harbor freight 4’ wide 18” deep 37” tall, with shelves below and a wide drawer above, with a cutting board type top.

Yep, that’s very similar to what I’m talking about.

There are better ones out there. I initially bought a better one. Set up and take down on the first one I got was a chore and needed two people. You could not do it alone.
This one is easier with 2 people, but with one person you can easily set it up or take it down in under 5 minutes. It stores in a nice bag that is wheels on it.
Now I am looking forward to my gazebo and I still have this as an option to increase my space if needed

Thank you for the information. I will take your advice and order the same equipment. I have never had dried meat before. On a trip to Australia, I was advised to take Bigwig Jerky on the road through bigwigjerky.com.au. I loved the taste. Now I want to try making something similar myself at home. I can experiment with the recipe. But the technique of drying meat is not always successful. But your video shows that buying such a machine is worth the investment. I wonder if you can smell the smoke?

What temperature do you use for jerkey ?

What temperature do you use for jerkey ?

As low as your grill will go... I have the luxury of having a "stay warm" 165° setting on my 575 but I do jerky at about 180-190
