Smoked Beef Jerky

== Description ==
Purchased from the Rosenthal Estate in Montgomery, Alabama in 1989. Date unknown. My brothers love Jerky so I make this for them, I'm not a jerky fan, but they love this recipe. Makes nice gifts for their birthday and also at Christmas.
== Ingredients ==
* 5 pounds Beef, any cut (I usually use rump roast)
* ½ cup non-iodized salt
* ½ cup granulated sugar
* 1 quart water
== Directions ==
# Trim all fat from meat.
# Slice meat with the grain as thin as possible.
# Place the meat in cool brine and refrigerate overnight.
# Take meat from brine, rinse lightly and allow to drain on paper towels for 1 hour.
# Place meat strips on smoker racks and dry for 12 hours using your favorite wood (I always use Hickory).
# When strips are the dryness you like, cool and transfer to plastic bag for storage.
