A buddy of mine turned me on to a no-name jerky shooter kit from walmart. you find it by the blenders and toasters. it runs about $12 and comes with afew different blends ( regular, teriyaki, cajun, etc). i add crushed red pepper (the kind that you put on pizza) or coat with coarse black pepper. just mix the season packets with ground venison, shoot (like a caulking gun) onto your dehydrator. (also available for cheap at walmart)
