Can it be used for smoked beef jerky made in an electric smoker?

I see you are getting a lot of different answers. Let me try and clear some things up. A lot of folks either dehydrate or smoke their jerky and it never reaches what would be considered a tempature that would be adequate to kill harmful bacteria. Others smoke or dry their product over that temperature and it would be fine to consume within a couple of weeks with proper storage. I believe the FDA recommends the use of cure #1 and being heated to a temperature over 165°F. Me, I use the cure and dry in my smoker and bring the temp up to 145 in the final stage to my preferred dryness. Don't be afraid to use cure as long as you use it in the proper amount. .025% per pound of meat.

Do you also have to use sea salt in combination with this pink salt?

This isn't salt like sea salt. It's a nitrate used to cure meats like bacon. It's poisonous if taken in more than the recommended amount. You don't have to use salt with it when curing meat but most people do.

It says use one teaspoon for 5 lbs meat, but in how much water?

husband bought this.....he used it for curing a brisket....use 1 level teaspoon for 5lbs of meat....so for each 5lbs of meat use one level teaspoon....i hope that helps...my husband used a bucket to do his brisket...so lets say you have 5 lbs of meat....then you use 1tsp........and 10lbs of meat 2tsps....and he said to just cover the meat with water...that way all the salt gets in....make sure your meat isnt already cured or salted because it will make it saltier....i hope this helps....

What about to make fresh chesse or other kind of chesse do i need it?

I don’t know of any cheese that requires curing salt. You can use any type of non-Iodized salt for fresh cheese making. I’m sure curing salt has other uses but I personally only use it to make homemade bacon.
