Uncle Jim's Jerky Marinade

Jurgenson Jerky
1 gallon of water
1 cup of dark brown sugar
1 cup of pickling salt
1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1 TBS Worcester sauce 
1 TBS Garlic powder add to preferred taste
1 TBS Onion powder add to preferred taste
2 tsp Coarse ground black pepper.
2 tsp liquid smoke
Add cayenne to taste


The meat should be cut into cubed long strips or a whole strip method, anywhere from a quarter to a half inch thick.  The meat needs to be stirred several times and soak throughout the 24 hour. Salt has a tendency to settle. Might have to stir in the middle of the night.

Alder, Mesquite, and Hickory should be used as the smoking wood. Mix all three woods together before adding to a big chief smoker pan.  If using a big chief smoker rotate the racks throughout the day and the smoking process.  The meat should be cured but somewhat tender.
