I was purchasing pellets the other day at Tractor Supply getting ready for another 5 ton winter of work, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted Iowa Jerky,,....so I grabbed a bag. I did notice the cost though, it was a bit pricey, but in todays world, a good Jerky demands the extra cost. So off to another store where I purchased a 5lb Spoon roast inspired by a glance and taste hoping to do better. I marinated the sliced meat for three+ days in a Sweet boubon marinate and smoked at 150 -190 on the offset using a thin base of B&B charcoal briquettes and cherry splits for color and flavor. It took about 5 hrs or so, the taste and texture came out spot on. Jerky's great for long road trips, I imagine cowboys chewed a few while on horseback, no horse here but I do own a Silverado and the roadtrip to Georgia via Ohio will be a tasty one. I did add a couple pics out of the ordinary, while cooking up the jerky I looked up and captured a whole lot of condensation trails in my area, haven't seen this before....not clouds.

My brother got a pic of the finished pig just before we started serving it.

steak and a salad..😄
