Got a kit for Christmas. A rack is really all it is. Season it...let it sit 20 hrs or so...put it in the oven at 190 for a couple of hours...learned alot on AR15 also.

I used the seasonings that came with the kit...I'm sure there's alot better types. It was a real expensive top round sirloin Angus crap...It was in the freezer and I said screw it..."Its jerky time

...stuff's tender as hell.

Damn,now my mouth is watering for beef jerky.

Looks like you got it under control.

We like to start with about a 2-4 pound eye of round roast. We have done some with deer meat-leg.

We stick it in the freezer and get it semi frozen. It is easiler to cut it when it is stiff. Cut it in thin pieces against the grain.

We have our own marinade. It usually takes about 10-12 hours to cure out. Lots of cracked pepper corns are on mine. Yummy!

i've made alot of jerky. using both the stove and cheap dehydrater. i've used all sorts of cuts of beef and just did venison for the first time this year. i also picked up a cheap recipe cd off ebay how to make jecky 365 different ways. i think i payed $1 for it. try some premade seasoning too mountain man mix they make like 8 or 9 types and even more if you want to try turkey or fish.

I've always cut it with the grain. Doesn't it crumble easily if you cut it with the grain? Just curious.

Did another batch today. A wet marinade with garlic, teriyaki sauce, onion powder. Used a london broil...damn stuff came out good. Trying a batch with the same stuff, with worstichire sauce instead of the teriyaki sauce.I think I found my calling in life. I will build a Jerky stand on my dead-end street...I'll make millions!!!!!

we make some deer jerky.. we just use a jerky gun (looks like a caulking gun), mix up some ground venison with some powdered jerky seasoning, let that sit over night, put that stuff in the gun, squeeze it onto strips on the dehydrator, and dehydrate for god knows how long.. tasty shit

Jerky guns are great. I would much rather use up all my ground game than other good cuts of meat. They also make great snack sticks if you have a round attachment.

Jerky and Sausage have become a second hobby for me. If you've been meaning to try out making your own jerky, next time your at WalMart check in the sporting goods section. They sell a book called "America's Favorite Wild Game Recipes". This book has lots of info on getting started with jerky and sausage, I recommend it.

Also try using Morton Tender Quick curing salt in your jerky. Try here for more info:

www.mortonsalt.com/consumer/products/foodsalts/tenderquick.htm

Here are a few sites I order from with info and equipment:

www.psseasoning.com/

www.butcher-packer.com/index.asp

This one has an excellent recipe and info/tip pull down menu right on the home page:

Have fun!

Believe it or not, we have an "upscale" grocery store right down the street from us. They have buffalo from time to time in the meat case. The Price ranges from $4/lb. for ground to $12/lb for ribeye and fillets. I guess I should consider myself lucky huh?

I take deer and cut it with the grain in strips, and season with the American Harvest seasoning from Wal-Mart.... I toss it in a large Tupperware, add a little water to make the flavor go around, sprinkle with ground Red Cayanne pepper, a hit of soy, a sprinkle of Lowry seasoning, and a hit of maple syrup.

Then dry on the dehydrator, straight to freezer bag while hot, and into fridge, and allow moisture to condense.

Boys at work are vultures when I bring it in.
