You can make pork jerky,you just have to pre-cook it first to 155-160 degrees.

I made pork jerky last weekend with a standard jerky recipe and everyone that tasted it was thoroughly impressed. Now a days Trich is almost non existent in US. To be completely safe, raise the temp on the smoker to 160. I kept water in smoker to keep moist. I smoked and cooked the pork for about 4.5 hours. Pork is just to inexpensive to not use. You can get whole pork loins for a $1.48lb at Sams and the best price for beef(for jerky) is $1.99lb plus all your pork trimmings(very minimal) can be used for sausage.

I LOVE your answer, I am Jewish and do eat pork, in fact, I'll probably go to the hot place, bacon is my favorite, along with bbq pulled pork. I am planning on making pork jerky, will let you know how it turns out.
