I use the Jerkey Shooter to make the Slim Jims and also make Jerkey Patties with the Ground for both of them.
Just make sure you have a FOOD SAVER or similar to Vaccume Seal them because they will MOLD in a short time if you dont eat em all fast enough.

BP, I have always done mine in the oven as well. But,I love that smokey flavor that the smoker gives. Mine is digital and I can pretty much set and forget, took about 6 hours total. Well worth the reward.... I am making what I call real jerky tomorrow. ran the venison thru the slicer earlier and have it marineting in the fridge.
Food saver??? The stuff will never last at my house, between friends and family.
