Hello and any Jerky makers out there?

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums and this site. I must say i really like it and hope to be around alot more.

This is my first year for making venison jerky and I could really use some pointers and recipes. I've tried garlic and teryaki and of the 2, the teryaki is the best...so far.

I also bought a jerky gun (for making jerky out of ground) and so far have thought it to be a waste of money. I made a batch of both garlic and teryaki and didn't like the consistancy or taste of either.

I would also like to get a sausage gun in the near future, if anyone has any good recipes for sausage or a good supply house for casings etc. it would be appreciated.

A little about me.. I'm married, 2 kids both boys, disabled mason, love working in my woodshop and can never seem to catch up on all the projects I have going. in the summer I love garage saling with my granddaughter. I am a big fan of Euchre and try to play every chance I get. right now I'm riding a hot streak, since xmas i have won 5 tourneys and placed in all but 2 I have entered.
I married a great lady 22 yrs ago and enjoy these days with her. Still looking to hit the lotto so I can buy her all the things she deserves. We've survided all kinds of hardships and altho many might say we've had our share, I think we've been blessed.

I call myself an optomistic realist. I know I'll never be rich like I dreamed when I was younger, and I know life is going to throw some curves at us, but I say bring it on. Our life has been a roller coaster, full of up and downs, but what fun is a merry-go-round it only goes round and round.

Hope this isn't to much information
looking forward to chatting to everyone
Rex

hey rex how goes.

jerky maker ellite here. ive never liked making if from cut meat for the simple fact it takes much more time to cure. here is my method give it a shot.

step one get your venison and an equal amount of ground hamburger, mix both well in a bowl.

mesure out how much you can throw in your dehydrator (mine can do 3 pounds, then add your sesoning.

i prefer this.
http://shop.himtnjerky.com/cgi/cp-ap...&ref=1&catstr=

mix your meat with the sesoning (no cure yet) proof this in the fridge for about 20 min, then mix in the cure. i actualy use a mash potato mixer for this since it will colect some of the sinue thats not so desirable.

pack the jerky gun tightly and shoot each rack full. my curent dehydrator is round so i make circles around it. it should take about 6 hours avrage for it to cure. i also recomend flipping it and rotaiting racks. blot off any extra grease that may bead on the surface (that will become bitter if left) its kinda up to you when to take it off, do a few batches and you will pretty much know what the meat should look and feel like.

i take anywear from 20 to 30 pounds of meat per year and make the stuff. anytime people hear ive made it they all come running.

oh and my favorite is the black pepper :wink:

Years back my husband use to love to make venison jerky. He also used other types of meat as well. I remember my favorite was a jerky he made out of hamburger with a spice packet just for ground beef that he use to get at Bass Pro Shop. But for what ever reason they now quit selling it.

I have looked everywhere for this 'ground beef' seasoning for jerky but have never seen anything for ground beef again. I know we can do up our own seasonings but for some reason this was really very good (not to mention easy!).

Anyone know of a seasoning packet for making good ground beef jerky?

thanks,
pk

I just saw some at the Sports Show. Too bad I didn't know, I could have grabbed you some and mailed it out.

Thank you for the thought.

Hey, do you by any chance remember the name of the company that had the seasonings? Maybe I could find it on line then.

thanks!

Try www.babewinkelmanstore.com/jerky_seasoning.php

I've used the marinades and seasoning blends and they are awesome. We just got a dehydrator and I'm looking at doing jerky with the Wildberry Chipotle jerky seasoning mix.

In the interest of full disclosure, I found out about the Babe Winkelman products because I am their webmaster. I found out how tasty they are because I love to eat!

Where is this located? Just curious, it's not at the State Fair Grounds in Milwuakee is it? We were just there yesterday (Sunday) for an Antiques Show and I noticed another show going on with boats and I think it said it was a sports show?

lol, be just my luck I was right there and didn't stop in. But we did have a great time at the antiques show.

I recently received a jerky gun, and all the accessories, including cure, and spice packets for making jerky in my recently purchased food dehydrator. I'll start experimenting with various meat and spice mixtures.
I intend to dry whole strips of meat, as well as ground meat to make my jerky.

http://www.psseasoning.com

This is where we get all our sausage making supplies. The last time I was at the store I picked up jerky seasoning and made my first batch last month. I don't have the 'shooter' so I made the whole meat jerky, in the oven, using Hi Mountain spices. It tasted pretty good and looked just like Brain's picture.
Sausage is a little harder to make but well worth the effort. We use whatever game meat we have....moose, venison, bear, boar etc. and add lean pork loin. We regularly make summer sausage, brats, ring bologna, snack sticks and breakfast sausage using the PS Seasoning casings and spices.
For a 'first timer' I would suggest making a batch of fresh sausage (like a breakfast sausage) to get used to the grinding and mixing. You don't need a smoker and you can make it without the casings by stuffing it in 1lb, plastic, 'hamburger bags' for storage/freezing. Then just take a bag out of the freezer, thaw for an hour or so, slice it off and fry it.
