Looks good! I'm curious about how the roast turns out tho. Tender? Tough or just right?

The roast was cut into strips to make the jerky.

Oh, gotcha. My mistake. I thought you were thinking I did a whole roast plus the jerky.

The Eye Round worked well. Some pieces were a little tough, but most were just right. I think the tougher ones were those that reached the right drying stage first. I pulled everyting from the smoker at the same time. I should have started selectively pulling pieces near the end of the smoke. I cut the roast with the grain, so all of it was chewy (the way I like it). If you don't like chewy, cut it across the grain.

Both of those turned out well. They were fairly mild and suited my wife just right. As for me, I would leave them in the marinade for another day.

Here's one of my favorites, and it's really simple. Be sure to try some like this in your next batch: Very lightly oil the meat with any vegetable oil, then sprinkle it liberally with McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning. Put it in a Ziploc bag, squeeze out the air, and leave it in the fridge overnight. Before putting it in the smoker, lay the strips on a paper towel to dry a bit.

And here's another thought. I bought that roast for $2.59 a pound because it was in the market's "marked down for quick sale" bin. If I had thought of it at the time, I could have brought it to the butcher's area at the back of the store and asked someone to run it through a slicer to make 1/4" slices. They usually do that willingly and it would have saved me a bit of work.

Darn, I wish I had taken progress pictures of the build. When I get a chance I'll break it down into its components and take a bunch of pictures for you guys. The whole set-up with, including the cedar fence boards, a cheap hot plate for low temp smoking, the wire cookie cooling racks, and the hardware for the burn chamber ran right around $100. The out-of-date 7 gallon propane tank used for the burn chamber was a freebie (turned in a my local Ace hardware).

I've never understood the marinade on jerky, I want my jerky dry as can be when I start smoking and I use spices on the meat.

penetrates better, much more even covering and you can add flavors you couldn't otherwise. I've done both but favor a wet marinade. it's not like it's going in the smoker or dehydrater soaking wet. you can pat dry or leave it with more marinade for more flavor if you want. just will need more time.

Hard to get a good sweet hot jerky without teriyaki liquid marinade and hot chilis.
