Jerky and Pepperoni

[Wea300mag]

I made some bear jerky, venison jerky and bear pepperoni. It's was my first try at jerky with my new Christmas present (dehydrator). It is the best jerky EVER! I'll never buy jerky from a store again. The bear pepperoni was pretty hard to beat also.

Looks AMAZING! Have you ever tried brineing your jerky in a dry rub instead of all liquid.

I have never tried a dry rub but it sounds interesting. This brew I used is going to be hard to beat though.

  that looks awesome!  did you finish the bear off in the oven, or?

Do you mind saying what kind of meat mixture you used for the pepperoni? Looks like it turned out excellent, I can't figure out how to make mine turn out looking like that.

Be careful with bear jerky and trichinosis

Once I discovered the dehydrator years ago, I never went back to the smoker.

I use the Butcher-Packer snack stick mix and add extra coarse ground black pepper, cayenne, and ground fennel. It takes me about 3-1/2 hours of smokehouse time to get up to 152 F internal temp. Air cool only, no water spray or bath.
