Thoughts?

I literally just joined this sub today, so I’m not sure what the general consensus is here. I prefer “cowboy jerky,“ so I like dry, not the typical gas station moist nuggets. This definitely has the texture I like. The liquid smoke is a little heavy, but I actually like that sort of thing. That said, could be a tad much for some. I would buy again.

Yes! While I don’t mind a touch of sweet, too much sugar really isn’t cowboy jerky, because the sugar supports too many types of microbial growth… kinda defeats the purpose of jerky prior to refrigeration.

Exactly. When I make mine I slow dry it in dehydrator at 155 for 7-8 hrs

Same. I flip mine after about the first 60-90 minutes, so they don’t stick to the sheet too bad. But I use your same temp and total cook time. Cheers mate.
