Jerky Question???? Whole Muscle vs Burger gun??

Ground jerky sounds interesting. Haven't tried it yet.

So I assume you mix the spices, etc. into the meat rather than marinate? And it seems like you would need a pretty fine wire mesh to keep the ground strips intact in the smoker?

Yes, mix the spices directly into the meat.  Let it set overnight to really infuse the meat. 

Yes, a fine wire grate to keep the meat in good form.  You can buy the trays at sportsmans for 10-15 bucks for a three pack.

Been making jerky today! Sweet n spicy, the stuff in the tray just came out of the smoker. I'll sort it out in the morning, and put the pieces that need finishing in the dehydrator.

Looks good
