It all started with a dream....
I had a dream the night before last that I was making some homemade beef jerky. Mind you, I haven't made jerky in probably at least 15 years. I told y'all the story a few months ago that I finally got my meat slicer fixed and up and running, so I don't know if that's what triggered my dream brain or else I've just been eating too much poultry, fish & veggies and my brain wanted some beef! It's been so long since I last made jerky that I almost forgot I owned a dehydrator. Anyways, I knew I had to go to the store and get all the ingredients needed to make this happen.
I ended up following Matt Pittman's jerky recipe from over at Meat Church. His recipe obviously calls for using his seasoning, but I substituted that with Sucklebusters 1836 Beef Rub since it is my absolute favorite. I bought a 2# bottom round roast and thinly sliced with my meat slicer. I then concocted the marinade and put them in the fridge overnight together so they could get to know one another. This morning, I drug out my dehydrator and crossed my fingers that it would even turn on since it had been so long. I loaded it up, re-dusted the top sides with another round of 1836 and off it went. At the very least, the house smells amazing! Going to let it coast for a few hours and then give it a check. I'll report back with results!

Well, the results are in! The only critique I can give is that I didn't make nearly enough!!

That’s inspiration right there! It looks like I may have that same dehydrator sittin in a closet unused.
Looks like some good jerky, you’ll have that gone in no time.

True, but you can crank out some good food, not just BBQ . I’ve seen it throughout the years

T Toby has lots of nice cooking toys. He has skills for sure. When I saw him put grill grates on his gas grill, I ordered a set as well. Completely changed how my grill cooked, for the better.
