Looks great. I’ve never made jerky. How do you store it and how long does it keep?
Vac seal bags and either eat it, give it away or sometimes freeze it. It never last longer than 1 week or so.
Looks great. Is that a bit thick for jerky? I know nothing about what is usual etc. 
When I use this or tenderloin I always cut it that thick and it truly is melt in your mouth tender, any other meat that we use I slice more traditional thickness.
That's a ton of work. Looks great though. I enjoy making it, but haven't for a long time. All the slicing, cleanup, trays, racks just keep me from doing it often.
Yeah it will blow up any plans for a good day anyway. I never leave once I get it going though, I rotate the racks 180 degrees and turn each piece every hour, helps keep it uniform on the GMG's, on the vertical I do that but also take the racks and move them sequentially from top to bottom on the hour as well. This weekend was both days full, ended up doing the original 16 and got them all smoked and then went back to Dillons last night and bought another 10, that was all they had.
Going to cut it up probably Wednesday and get it done this weekend coming up. My wife is very generous with her help doing jerky, she loves it and so do all her co-workers so she definitely doesn't mind lending a hand.
