Homemade beef jerky?? (1 Viewer)

Well I just got back from trudging to the store,i had to take some empty soda & beer cans back,& the machine was malfunktioning,so i stuck my hand in thare to try to force the cans in & it bit me!OUCH!
but I got my BEEF JERKY BABY!yummy:9:
 
what???

that's insanity

and i found this on the BGE website:

"There are no authorized internet retailers for Big Green Egg products. Purchasing any Big Green Egg product from an internet source will void the warranty associated with that product. "

http://www.biggreenegg.com/internet.html
 
They sell BGE's at Bassil's Ace hardware on Transcontinental, N of West Esplanade. They usually have the small one in stock if you want to take a look at it.
 
nothing insane about it, my guess is you've spent that much on the multitude of grills you've had already. and that is true about the internet resellers, the big green egg has a lifetime warranty on all ceramics, and i dont mean limited lifetime, i mean for ever. 25 years from now if it cracks in half you're getting a new one.
 
here is my large in the custom table i built for it.

A long time ago before i had a smoker I used to make jerky in my oven in the house.

You can use your favorite marinade for this, but make sure you include some liquid smoke as well. This will give your jerky a smoky flavor.

I'd set the stove at 225. Put aluminum foil in the bottom of your stove first. Very important or you will have a big mess. Next get some tooth picks. Take your strips of meat and put a toothpick through the top of the meat. Put it on the rack so its hanging down and the toothpick will keep it from falling through the rack. Next close the door, but leave it open 1-2 inches to allow moisture to escape.

Is this the preferred method for jerky, prolly not. However, lacking a smoker the oven worked great. I used to make deer jerky all the time and bring it to work. People loved it.

that's flippin' sweet. i'm comin' over for bbq.

there used to be an old man on the side of the road between baton rouge and st. francisville that had some really good jerky. he was super old and this was a while back, so who knows if he's still around...
 
My only problem with the green egg is size. I can do about 10-12 slabs of ribs at a time in my smoker. I also tend to make a lot of briskets in the summer. I love doing a brisket. Plan on spending 16 hours cooking and my wife loves it so I get to spend as much time as needed on monitoring the fire lol. Its awesome when the wife says we are going somewhere that I don't want to go and I mention that I will be busy all day smoking food.
 
if you want to take a look at it.

not at those kind of prices

i have had 3 grills since i moved out of the nest

"old smokey" i bought at rite-aid for 12 bucks and it lasted 2-3 years and was actually a pretty good grill

a weber hand-me-down from my ex's father....he had it for about 7 years and it lasted me another 3-4 until the legs rusted out

and i recently dropped a whopping 30 bucks at big lots on a grill that has worked out pretty good for a year....it will last another one i am sure

the weber was by far the best of the 3

LOL 12 racks holy crap. I do 5-6 at a time on the large, more than enough for a mediumish sized gathering.


And pop, its more a matter of ignorance is bliss. Just dont eat anything off of one and you'll be fine :p

and thanks for the complements on the table, im working on an addon to it currently.
