I use a very similar recipe for my Jerky, its from the Food Network one of Alton Browns Recipes.

I make it using Deer meat and on average I make enough to fill 20 or so gallon Ziploc bags. And my house smells soooo good but my oven is a mess after I get finished. :lol:

I usually pass a few bags around to my neighbors along with my homemade Tabasco sauce from my Tabasco plants I have in the backyard.

I hi Billy when it comes to making beef jerky it is messy that is why you put like a drip pan under it while it is in the oven that way your oven stays clean and you dont have a big mess on your hands my son's exgirlfriend I told her when she got my recipe and she was going to make it to put a pan under it while it was in the oven and what does she do she did the oppasite from what I told her she had a great big mess in the oven I swear that girl had no brains in her head. So make sure you either put a pan or tin foil under the rack you have your meat on.

When I make mine since it is in such a large batch I use all 3 racks in the oven and it takes around 3 or 4 days running 24 hours a day when I make it. I do put foil under the element but it still makes a mess and all I have to do is use the self cleaning option on the oven.

I cant wait until I build my smoke house on my farm when we move in permanently later this year. Talk about having fun this fall and early winter comes time to start slaughtering!!!

I love farms reminds me of when I was little we would go to my aunts houses and pick veggies out of her garden and then she would kill off some of her chickens for a bbq it was so great.
and you say you have a smoke house oh that is even better smoked pork and beef oh so good I know where im going lol just kidding. Do you also can veggie and fruits and chicken it's really good if you do and home made strawberry jams mmmmm good
