Smoking Jerky Char-Broil Kamander Kamado Charcoal Grill

[@stanleykeith6969]

Is it better to soak the wood chunks in water for awhile Heath, to make them last longer and smoke more. I have also used Apple wood soaked in water. Great Job. That old song when smoke gets in your 👀Eyes...........Great camera work Rachel 🥰!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Stanley, I used to soak my wood chips but read that it doesn’t do much, and after seeing how little moisture was actually soaked up by the wood in my moisture meter video I don’t know that it really helps. I will be taking down a few apple trees see on and it will all be smoker wood.

[@On_The_Farm]

Smoking always takes forever, but worth it in the end. You have to avoid trying to speed up the process. Nice work guys!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, and yes the temptation to speed it up never pays off.

[@jimbo5056]

Great Pro -cess in the charbroil. Can't wait to try some High Mountain seasoning next time. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Jimbo, it is good!

[@leonardryan8723]

Tks god for Rachel to get jerky for the kitchen table . 😊

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Absolutely! She does it all.

[@gregprince2523]

Good way to clean out your freezer also!! Every Spring we did this and the kids, grandkids, great grandchildren love it....

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Greg, absolutely! I have a bunch of meat waiting to be made into snack sticks and summer sausage. I have a recipe I will share that many have said is the best they’ve ever had! It’s amazing!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Yum! Nothing like a great homemade snack!!👍👍

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, Jeremiah, I love it.

[@oldguyfirewood]

That looks delicious Heath. I’ve only used a dehydrator to make jerky but I’m sure the smoker adds a lot of great flavor. You’re right, the price of jerky in the store is insane.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Dick, I definitely prefer it from a smoker!

[@knottwworking]

Looks good! Have never made it but have bought my share.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It’s amazing!

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Jerky s definitely a favorite more of a 4 to 6 hour smoke for me. Going to be some good snacks

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yeah, it took quite a bit longer than I remembered lol.

[@michaeljheinz3336]

Outstanding

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks.

[@firewoodathome]

We have used high mountain seasoning a lot.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It is one of the best I’ve found.

[@bradwatters996]

I use the same seasoning for my jerky. Its good stuff.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Brad, it’s my favorite and I’ve tried a lot over the years.

[@dch923ster]

I raised a couple of pigs last year and filled 2 freezers. I use an electric smoker (solar panels so it made sense) my main problem is getting good smoking wood because most of them don't grow out here

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

David, electric smokers are definitely easier to control and with solar would be a no brainer. Luckily we have plenty of great smoker wood available here.

[@dch923ster]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors our 2 main kinds of wood is almond and red gum eucalyptus and if you tried smoking with that the best meat would be enedible

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Ugh. We’re blessed here with a lot of great wood: apple, hickory, oak, cherry, etc. no Mesquite though.

[@TheYeti308]

That's just the right size cut on that Deer meat . YUM . !

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Agreed! Love it.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Your a hard working griller I’m sure you don’t have any complaints about the beef 🥩 jerky ever ❤😊

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Todd definitely don’t get many complaints.

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

Is your jerky tender? If so I’d love to try some.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’d say it’s tender. I’ll see if I have some next time we can swing your way.

[@twhipple334]

Not all lump charcoal is created equal. Although I do believe Cowboy lump may have stepped up their game a little bit recently. Pick you up some Rockwood lump sometime and see how you like the burn time and smoke flavor of that.👍🏻

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’ll check it out. I do think Cowboy has upped their game it seems nicer than it used to be.

[@doughegel9035]

That looked pretty good I have some jerky to make yet and I'll smoke Hickory Plus I have my cheese to smoke it

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Doug, I have yet to smoke cheese but definitely want to.

[@doughegel9035]

When you smoke that cheese do not get your temperature over 80ﾟ and the best wood there is Apple wood

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, I plan on building a big smoker and will try it then.

[@SkidderKev]

running the treager today, making pulling pork.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I still want to add a pellet grill to my repertoire! They are definitely nice.

[@SkidderKev]

@Hard Working Man ya they are nice but wish I had super smoke on mine. Have to get one of the things that hold pellets or chips to light to get some more smoke in it.

[@Gpon2s]

Where can I find the cap on the bottom for the damper going in?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I would contact Char Broil. I contacted them about an issue I had and they aware great!

[@jcbever1511]

Are you using the plastic intake port & tube, or the metal replacements for your Kamander? I have a Kamander that I haven't used yet, but it has the plastic intake tube. I bought the replacement metal intake tube but Charbroil no longer makes the metal intake port so I haven't installed it yet. Just wondering if it's worth doing the replacement or if the plastic intake system will work fine.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I still have the original plastic intake tube. However it has melted where it connects to the bottom of the grill. I tried to get the metal replacement but I too found out they were no longer available.

[@jcbever1511]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Well that's a bummer. I was going to send you the link for the metal replacement kit, but you're right. They stopped making it. I guess I got my order in on time for the metal intake kit (tube). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy the air intake cap (which has a different bolt pattern than the plastic cap), so I'll have to fabricate something if I decide to keep this smoker.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks for trying, I am planning on fabricating something up myself as I like the grill!

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

Put the pampered chef pizza pan in there. I’m sure Rachel has one you can use😈

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

If she had one I don’t think she’d appreciate that lol.

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Think of how much better her 10-pointer will taste

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

Bear with me.. Get some bertello or other frozen dough. Thaw it out and then pre-bake it on the pampered chef stone in the grill. Add some fresh tomato purée with fresh herbs, thin sliced fresh mozzarella ( not that junking Kraft of grocery store pre shredded). Top with green peppers, black olives, sweet Vidallia onion, some fresh venison sausage with fresh ground seasoned pork. Top with a layer of smoked ghouda cheese on top. That stone would be perfect…

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Jon I definitely want one of those stones and we make our own pizzas a lot. May have to try it on the grill. But no OLIVES!!!

[@gregprince2523]

Jerky here south of Columbus Ohio is running 50-75$ a lb..... Rumor is Morel's will be 75-90$ a lb this year.... smh.... Pop's used to say he had outlived his money..... I'm now seeing why he said that

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Wow, that’s crazy!! I know it’s getting up there here too. I stopped at a gas station the other day and a meat stick was $4. I let hungry lol. My brothers property is loaded with Morals! Hopefully he lets me come hunt a few, he’s pretty protective of them.

[@gregprince2523]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Gotta have my fried in butter morels every year!! Keep that place a secret!!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Greg it’s an amazing property!!

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

I buy all our meat straight from the butcher. I have him cut the entire round in his slicer for jerky and then package it in 1# packages. It costs me about $3.40 a pound of meat regardless of cuts.

[@scottw.2450]

The price of everything you buy is insane and it’s getting worse every year. I haven’t been on this earth all that long but I can remember when you could buy a can of pop, bag of chips, and a candy bar for a dollar. Man those days are gone. And then you had the older generation talking about a bottle of pop and a candy bar being 5 or 10 cents.

[@billbill7873]

❤️😋🍽🤙🏻

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks for watching.

[@bigbluegpr]

Nicely done! That jerky looks almost as good as Rachel........almost!🤭

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Lol, not quite though!

[@fricknjeep]

hi not into that later john

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

The smell of the hickory smoke is amazing though.
