Title: Jerky and Pepperoni
Post by: Wea300mag on January 27, 2014, 07:10:02 PM: 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. :drool:

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.
