who makes their own jerky?
I was thinking about trying this but I dont want to ruin a bunch of meat. How hard is it? How long does it take? etc?
the butched charged me $24 and I only got 2 pounds back so i thought if I could get one of those guns and use my ground up deer meat I would be able to make a bunch of it for a little bit of nothing.
anyone?

It's easy as anything, and will probably taste WAY better. I use a Jerky Cannon, and a dehydrator, and I mix 1/4c Worcestershire, 1/4cup soy sauce or Teriaki (you choose), 1/2 TBSP of seasoned salt, 2TBP brown sugar, 2 TBSP Liquid Smoke, 1/2tsp onion powder &garlic powder, 1/2 - 1tsp of pepper, and 1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper if you really like KICK!!! I use the "stick" nozzle because it helps the meat retain it's moisture just a touch better. I don't use any "cure" as the salt content alone CURES the jerky. Mix it up in a heavy duty freezer bag, and let it marinate in the fridge for a few days and use. I've NEVER had a batch not get completely eaten in about 18yrs of making it. And my 2 and 4yr old LOVE IT!!!!

I do........ it really is quite easy but a lil time consuming if done in large amounts!! I like to do mine in the oven rather then the dehydrator, I like it a lil more chewy then tough!!!
I use Hi-Mountain seasonings, with my favorite being cracked pepper and garlic!! I buy the kit below and it comes wiht everything you need to do plenty of meat and isnt too awful expensive either. I think I usually get it for around $5.... I think I have $30 in a big jerky shooter and two-three oven jerky racks!!! Google Hi-Mountain jerky!!
OK I CANT get it to upload a pic but just check out there website and they have tons of mixes and stuff!! I have made up my own mix with sauces, seasonings, etc... but find the Hi- Mountian seaosnings much easier and better! If you feel the need you can also add your own special mixes to these kits.Gd Luck!!

Its very easy, you can even do it with an oven, you dont need a dehydrator. I love to make a marinade with worcester sauce, garlic salt, onion salt, pepper, and salt..Let it soak the strips overnight

Question....
I can regulate about 200-220deg. in my cooker. Is that too high?
Second.....How do you store it after its ready?
Third.....How long would I cook it at 200-220deg?
Thanks! I may have found a way to extend my season!
