- After no less than 12 hours, take the meat from the brine, rinse lightly and allow to dry on paper towels for 1 hour.
- Place meat strips on the smoker racks and dry for 12 hours, using your favorite fuel. (alternatively you can place on rack in oven with drip tray underneath at 250 degrees F. for 2-3 hours. Flip 1/2 way and monitor dryness.
