Beef Jerky Sticks
« Reply #-1 on: December 03, 2011, 12:04:32 AM »
I decided to try out my new jerky gun for the first time. I got  4 lbs of 80/20 ground beef. And I used the Backwoods seasoning that came with the LEM jerky gun. I only used 3/4 of the packet due to others complaining using the entire packet turned out to be way too salty. But I did add all of the cure #1. The gun worked well and was easy to use & clean.

I made some flats and rounds using the two different provided tips. Put them in the OBS with 1 1/2 hours of Apple smoke and convection fan on. The temp started at 170F for a half hour then I dropped it to 155F and slowly progressed the temp up until it was at 170F. They took about 7 hours to dry. They tasted very good but could have used just slightly less seasoning ;D

You will need some type of frog mat or jerky screen or the beef will fall through..
