Oven jerkey rules! Prop the door open with a wooden spoon and put it on low and fugeddaboutit

Especially when my oven won't go below 175 degrees! That's a tad too hot. Gotta prop it open to keep that air circulating and keep the temp down.

I wish the Cattleman would chime in. He does a mean deer jerk, and I want to learn his secrets!

I am a jerky addict as well but, I am addicted to HOG jerky. Syracuse meats makes all of mine. Their deer jerky is awesome and so are a lot of other jerkies that I have tried but, this HOG jerky is killer.

Whatever you do stay away from the PORK!!!! I keep at least 1, 1lb bag in my truck at all times!

I made a dehydrater full out of the last deer I killed and ate it all within 2 days. I too am an addict

I just started making my own jerky this year. Bought a 10 rack LEM dehydrator from Gander Mtn last week on sale for $175.

I got the sampler of 7 seasoning from Cabelas for xmas, have made the teriki (sp) and wasn't too happy with it especially since it said it was for 10lbs and I mixed it withh 7lbs. Next I did the original flavor with 10lbs and it turned out pretty good. The pepper flavor will go in tonight. I don't know what I will go to next, but I am not too sure I want to use the sweet and spicy and hot flavors, not really what I like out of jerky. Sometimes the hot flavors just aren't appealing to the palet.

I also bought a 7 1/2" slicer, the first stuff I sliced I thought was a little thin so i cut the meat for the second and third batchs thicker. That second batch came out the way I like it, but it definitely took a lot longer to dehydrate, but then again you aren't cooking it....

Anyone else have any good flavor packs they want to suggest. I am going to try to get my Kenco in Houston to see what they have. We have gotten our sausage flavoring (we like to add japs and high temp cheese to it) from them before and have liked it (no, I don't remember which one we used).

Like some of the others have posted, I expect to finish up the 2 does I have have been working on completely with jerky and then start on the deer in the freezer. Everyone enjoys the jerky so you might as well make a bunch of it so it will last until next years supply can be started.

Ok, OK, I Admit it, I am addicted and week, i just can't quit, is there a program out there or a patch I can wear or something. The worst part is only 1 deer this year, so there was very little jerk. now I am going through Withdrawls.

Looks like there are alot of us chronic jerkers out there (lol) I say we forge onward unashamed and proud of our jerking skillz! Besides, it's a healthy habit and everyone likes it. I am gonna have to try a few of these recipes you guys posted. I am hoping to get 2 doe this weekend for more. Wish me luck!!!
