It's winter time and family is doing their traditional smoked beef.
Over the years I tried tossing some super thinly sliced meat into the smoker to try and make beef jerky like the kind you can buy in a bag at a register.
Throughout the years I've managed to get the consistency and the look right, but they always taste as just smoke, even when marinating over night in some incredibly sweet teryaki or honey sauces.

This year I'm thinking of wrapping the strips lightly in aluminum foil to keep as much smoke as possible from directly touching them and affecting the flavor.
Since I've never used aluminum before I wanted to ask is there anything in particular I should keep in mind like letting the meet cure longer or if i should perforate the foil to allow to moisture leave with greater ease?

don't smoke them the whole time, finish them in an oven.

I'm listening. What consistency should I aim for to take them out of the smoker? What temp/time am I looking at in the oven? Assuming it's your standard low-fat piece of beef strip cut to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Imagine hating animals so much you decided to dry them out so you could chew on their flesh over an extended time.

I don't think wanting your food to last longer is hate. If anything it's reverence. If you make your food last longer you decrease the likelihood of having to throw any away as well as decrease the frequency at which you need to restock supplies.

I hope someone does the same to you.

You imply it would bother me.
I'm a member of the apex species, I exercise my rights as such. If another apex species takes our place then it's their right to hunt and eat us at will.

It would bother you dont lie. If aliens came, enslaved you and harvest you for your flesh. You would not be ok with that. If you say otherwise everyone knows you are lying.
