I just finished bagging up 8 one gallon bags of deer and ram jerky. I start off by stripping the meat and then, as I lay it into pans, sprinkle homemade garlic salt over it. After 24 hours, I string it and hang it in my outdoor smokehouse. Smoke for about 10 hours and finish drying the thicker pieces in my oven. I'll put it up against anything I have ever bought.
