Venison jerky question

[CP312]

I'm new to the smoking world and a little help would be appreciated. All of the recipes on the Bradley site say to use cut pieces of meat when I make jerky. I've always used ground meat from a jerky gun. I have a lot of ground meat already and am wondering if I can just use the jerky gun and follow their recipe otherwise? If not can someone help me out with a recipe for ground meat jerky. Thanks
