Anyone make their own jerky?

I would like to make some on my smoker while I am off for the holidays. What cut of beef should I use? Any suggestions on marinades? Time and temp? Wood? Never done it before so am a little lost. An Internet search gives me millions of options

flank steak is tasty and easy
Just make sure you slice it across the grain
As for marinades etc there are hundreds to choose from

I've never done it on a smoker. I use a dehydrator but I have used eye of round or top round. You can basically marinate with all kinds of flavors. Teriyaki, soy, whatever.
Try searching on this site. We've had a thread or two with people doing it on a grill/smoker

What you want it to taste like, then smoke at 225 with some kind of wood for a couple hours then put on a food dehydrator until done.

I use to top or bottom round. I marinate it in low sodium soy sauce, pepper, pineapple juice and a little crab boil. I smoke it on my egg for about 2 hours at 225 with some hickory wood. Then I finish it off in the dehydrator.

No, you can smoke it if you have a smoker. You can use a convection oven or regular oven.

Cool. The longest I've kept homemade jerky is abt a month in the fridge in a ziploc.

if you don't have a dehydrator you can use a box fan
search for Alton Browns beef jerky recipe and there's a video showing how to do it

That sounds interesting. What kind of proportions do you use?

I've always wanted to try AB's method but I don't think my wife could handle the kitchen smelling meaty for several days

I've gotta be honest. I know a couple of guys who make jerky, and the smoker is much, much better.

Hey, I've never made jerky. Just reporting.

I prefer it out of a smoker as well

1. Use a smoker. You'll be MUCH happier with the results
2. While fattier meats will work fine, they will go rank much faster. Eye of round roast is cheap and very lean.
3. Don't get too complicated with your marinade. You still want to be able to taste the actual meat.

I use a liquid marinate overnight, drain and coat with honey. Get the smoker going to 190 put meat on for about 5-6 hours.
I only use deer back-strap, so I am not familiar with other cuts of meat.
