Nektu, have you ever tried making jerky using a smoker? I just got one over the weekend and I want to use it over the summer and I know all the stuff about wood chips, marinating, and the importance of what meat you use, but I don't know exactly how long I should keep it in there.
Like, I read that you should keep the chips going for about 3 hours since you don't want to overpower the taste with too much smokiness, but then that same site said that you should put them in the oven to finish "drying," but my mom wants nothing to do with jerky in the kitchen cause it'll just make the house hot and smell like jerky. So can I just take the chips off and leave the meat in the smoker with heat running through the element (I have an electric smoker)?

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
