My first time trying to make jerky
Hey folks,
I'm very interested in making some jerky for the first time. A lot of my hunting buddies make jerky and smoked fish/arctic char, but all with varying degrees of success. I have some really good caribou meat that I'd really like to make jerky with. The meat is pretty similar to deer or elk. What do you suggest I follow in terms of a recipe, equipment needed, and other related things? I'll be buying and ordering a bunch of items related to making jerky, smoking meats, etc. I've hunted my whole life and mainly cook my meats in easy recipes, and now I feel like I'm confident enough to try new things!
Do you have a recipe or two that you can suggest? And do you have a list of equipment that works best for you? I do have a meat grinder, the caribou meat, different kinds of spices, and I'm very open to acquiring other items or equipment to help with the process. Thanks a million for the tips and tricks! I'll be happy to post updates of the process. Feel free to reach out or comment on the post :)
