Had a taste of some hot Beef jerky yesterday whilst out canoeing, lovely stuff, now is there anywhere online I can buy jerky from and how long does it keep?

Cheers Sundown just so happens I have a smoker out the back the same as in the vid, never did no how to use it properly, going to give that a go.

Just ordered some Darren. :P
But I am going to have a go at making my own on the smoker out back, what I want to know is does it have to be a prime steak or can you use cheaper frying steak for instance?

never made it but have bin told to use Select a cut of meat. Choosing a lean cut like sirloin, top round, or eye round will save time later. hope that helps . you will have to let me try some after you make some: =D

I was paddling on the Severn yesterday. At lunchtime my mate pulled out some chilli billtong, very nice indeed.

Cheers, Pieface.

Still haven't found out what Billtong is yet?

Just don't bring it anywhere near me! Strike a match and I'm sure I'd still do a passing impression of Puff the Magic Dragon a week after trying your hot beef jerky. A cruel trick to play on an unsuspecting Greybeard. I'm still planning my revenge.

Prefer Venison Or Moose

When I lived in Georgia, venison (hunted on the 1,500 acre camp where we lived) was our staple food: up to 6 nights a week, generally cooked over an open fire, with fish from the lake on camp as an occasional variation.

We (my friend and I) were not experts at skinning and butchering deer... but were competent enough. Tended to end up with some nice cuts for roasting / grilling and assorted bits that we were quite happy to try turning into jerky. Living there, on the edge of the Oconee national forest, and making jerky as part of a way of life was great at the time.

The best jerky we had was when I took home a very young deer that had been hit by the truck in front of us: can't recall which cuts made the best jerky, but the best of it was stunning! If I happen across a roadkill here anytime soon... I might just try and repeat that experience

Blue Mountains? Guess Admin Man can tell you about his sojourn there.

The rest of his family !make do! with venison from Loch Nevis on our wonderful holidays.

We use Neck. It works perfectly well enough. Tend to find that Sika makes the best, unlike most everything else venisonny where I would plump Muntjac everytime Also dry mine out over a fire... Ray Mears style, the advantage of having few neighbours! Just a little salt and nothing else.

Last year we were camping and stalking from the tent in the far north. One of the beasts shot by a client the gamedealer wouldnt accept, so instead of throwing it away (not having a fridge) we jerkied nearly the whole thing, all 80lbs. I still have some in the cupboard!

No keep meaning to get some nice lean beef and have a go but never seem to get round to it, but it's still on the radar.
