Beef Jerky is one of the best road trip foods out there. Hikes, lake days, beach bonfires, planes, trains, and automobiles – the jerky will always do you right and hit the spot. Chef Ryan Wiebe shows you how to whip up some in a smoker before you hit the road. Featuring our Cowboy Crust Espresso Chile Rub, it packs a good punch of heat with hints of coffee. Make a batch of this to snack on with your family and friends or eat it all yourself, we won’t judge.
