Jumbo Jerky Works Ground Meat Jerky Gun

[erain]

one thing i have never done is make jerky out of ground. but i know many who do it that way. many of them will never go back to whole muscle jerky or so they say... nice side by side and getting your buds for guinea pigs!!!

Looks like the same jerky gun that came with my dehydrator. I like it other then it is to small. I have been thinking about going and getting a bigger jerky gun so I don't have to reload it so darn often. Other then that it works great.

Same here E, never made ground jerky as I always thought it to be "cheating" or something like that LOL.

I gotta say though, it does look pretty good. The older I get, the lazier I get. And if I can have jerky and not work so hard at chewing it, all the better

I have a couple extra stuffing tubes, wonder if I could heat the ends up and flatten em out to make strips???

One thing I like about what ya got going on there, is the uniformity.

I'm kinda thinking the same thing Ross..... I had one about (aboot in Canada) 15 years ago & it worked fine & was built a lot better than this one & I actually used it to stuff hog casings with sausage fillings..... Now a member here has it, that I am waiting for HER to use on stuffing some sausages, etc. ..... just kidding

The one I got is supposed to hold 1 pound+-..... I think it was Cabela's that has one that looked much nicer & larger..... I may be looking into something a bit bigger & larger after Christmas.... It's so easy, pretty quick & the ened results are pretty good, I might start doing this more.

I have this one.



It is very well built. I have used it 4 times and it makes awesome jerky.

Using the Hi-Mountain seasoning, they say to mix the meat with the seasoning/cure then let it sit overnight. As I said above, I had good results with this.

I am a fan of overnight... safety first. But, well mixed ground meat does cure within a couple hours.

However- always err on the side of caution

Days and days for whole muscle and a coupe hours for ground meat. Not adding up to me. Think I'll stick with 24 hours. Then I KNOW it's cured and not just a very scary guess.

Well, define "whole muscle". When it's sliced .25" thick... and with ground, well mixed... it's... well you get it.

But yes... one can't over cure using the right amount of cure. Only under cure.

On the safety side of things, I'm amazed that none of the instructions I have read for these (this is my 2nd one) say anything about (aboot in Canada) alotting any time for curing. Same thing on a lot of the recipes & instructions I viewed on Google.

The sausage maker say mix stuff and let cure. Much easier on mach and very safe. Good enough for me if Kutas say so.

Do you add moisture later just before putting in shooter or does it do ok with the set up meat??
