Good grief, Larry, you've got all those smoking devices and you did jerky in the oven??
I did a 3 batches totaling 7 lbs the other day, top round cured and seasoned with Hi-Mountain original, Cajun, and hickory blends, smoked with apple chips (thanks again, BchrisL).

(Jerky needs smoke.)
(store weight 7 lb 5 oz (7.32 lb)
trimmed weight 6 lb 14 oz (6.88 lb)
smoked weight 4 lb 5 oz (4.31 lb)
The reason I'm messing around with ounces is that my spiffy electronic scale measures in ounces (only), or pounds and ounces, or kilos and grams. It's funny they didn't do a pounds and decimals option, but I guess that's because it's a kitchen scale, and ounces still rule the American kitchen.)
