My jerky gun and Hi Mountain seasoning finally turned up.
It had been delayed due to the ash cloud

This is what I got.





The 5 flavors are Sweet & Spicy, Inferno, Pepper, Mandarin Teriyaka & Pepperoni



This is what come in the box



So now it is time to make some ground meat jerky. So following the instructions I mixed the Pepperoni with 2 lbs (0.907gm) mince. Then into a Vac pac bag and into the fridge for the night

All ready to to go



Way cool so easy to use



I made 2 racks of flat & 2 rounds.



Now the money shot .



I have read alot about this Hi Mountain seasoning and all I can say is Dam it is good.
It taste just like Pepperoni can not wait to try the others  :P

Nice Job! The jerky looks perfect!

So how was it dehydrated? All in the Bradley? And what smoke and temp did you use? How long?

[Smurfatnz]

Yes it was all done in the Bradley
I smoked it for  1 1/2hrs at 140º F and then  raised the temperature to 185° F for another 3 hrs

I love my Jerky Canon.  Did you find Hi Mountain a bit salty?  The few times I used Hi Mountain I found them salty, but a good flavor.  LEM makes a good mix.

Wow!  OK, don't tell my wife but I'm inspired enough to be buying one of these jerky guns here in a few sec's.  Couple of questions from a newbie:

1. do you have any sort of temp controls on your OBS (i.e. auberins PID, etc..)?
2. talk to me about the vent - Open? partially open? closed?
3.Does the gun feel pretty sturdy? you know, is it going to last?
4. I'd prob want to develop my own recipes - what do you think?


Thanks.  now to put the gun on the credit card....

Hamburger - I have the Jerky Gun brand from LEM and have no issues what so ever with it holding up. I have put quite a bit of beef through it.  I have an OBS and do not have a PID like most do.  Have had no issues making jerky and controlling temps.  Some times I do the smoke in the OBS and finish in the oven when I am worried about temps, ie., high wind or outside temp.

Oh well the rest is mine  ;D ;D ;D
