This couldn’t be an easier contest to enter in. Heck I subscribed to you guys after watching your first deer skinning video over 4 years ago and back then there was less than 3k subscribers.

Its been a little bit of over 1 year since i watched this video. I started with 1 pit boss vertical smoker, now i got 4 of them. I did it just for me and my family first for snacks. Then a colleague of me wanted some clean jerky since his an Carnivore. Words got out and now i cant meet the demand. I only got 3 different flavours, but still the Carnivore Label just salt bags goes like fire! My biggest order was for 3000$ from 1 customer, thats crazy! I had to put everything on hold to make that. I wanne say from the bottom of my heart, ty so much for this video! You guys gave me an business!

[@davegearns3806]

I made 12lbs of this with some left over deer from last year. I used the original seasoning and popped it into the dehydrator. 7 hours later I had a stack of treestand snacks! Great flavor and very easy to make, the whole family loves em. Venison Brats are next.

[@omarkurdi9008]

I’m a butcher from Chicago love your stuff. Got all my butcher friends to follow you guys.

[@dubltap7216]

When I get my deer, everything that isn't cut into steaks, I grind with no fat and put into 5lb bags to freeze. Then I make jerky 10lb at a time just like your doing. Works great and very tender this way.

[@greenramp]

I make these all the time for the family. Awesome job showing off some good alternatives for seasoning. One thing I do differently is load the meat into my sausage stuffer then use it to load the jerky gun. This helps eliminate air bubbles while squeezing it onto the racks.

[@Sandin374]

Do you consider your jerky shelf stable? Or do you keep it in the refrigerator?

[@greenramp]

@@Sandin374 Depending on the amount of smoke time and cure used. I have made some "shelf stable" versions for camping of my bike. These are pretty dry since they are smoked longer. Mostly I freeze them and replenish the fridge as needed.

[@tonycaudle]

I just got to visit the shop last week and stocked up on jerky, elk smokies, brats, a bucket of seasoning and some other things. Love it there. Hopefully I will get there again soon. The breakfast sausage was amazing

Wow that's crazy. Looking very yummy. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep farming. Keep butchering . Keep cooking. Keep making. God bless.

[@Jpettygrove11]

Would that be shelf stable? or would it need frozen/refrigerated? and if shelf stable how long is it shelf stable?

[@tagged-out]

Curious about this too. I tend to always freeze mine, but would love to know if I can leave them on the shelf for the season.

[@Blestbinkie]

I am very curious about this too. I always just keep mine in the freezer then move it to the refrigerator.

[@markcarr5142]

With the curing salt that they used, I'd probably say that this would be shelf stable for about two to three months. That's assuming that it's kept inside I temperature controlled environment.. AKA... Your house or pantry. I've made huge batches of jerky like this, and as long as it was inside the house, it kept for a good while. Refrigerator would probably be 6 months, and I even found a package of snack sticks that were 2 years old in the deep freezer, and they were still good.

[@slabslayer258]

For those with home use grinders or little smaller than this if you semi freeze your meat chunks before grinding it will grind better not hard frozen but like just stiff on the outer edges of meat also helps keep grinder head and auger cold along with what they mention as putting the grinder head assembled in freezer to while to chill it too

[@jerseyjoe2684]

Keep up the great videos. Good luck this hunting season, and God bless you and your family!

[@davidsommerfeld2955]

Enjoy all of your content. Grew up butchering our own deer and hogs with the neighbors. Have a question though. I use ground meat and mix spices and meat cure with my kitchen aid mixer to get a good protein extraction. The only thing I do different is I let the meat sit overnight in the fridge for spice and cure to saturate the meat. I load the jerky shooter the next day and dehydrate. Is the overnight rest an unnecessary step in making my jerky sticks? It turns out great every time. Enjoy watching you work your craft.

Always a pleasure watching and learning from you guys. Can’t wait to make this kind. Have a great and safe Elk Hunt this year!

I would be amazed with any prizes but smoker is something I been eyeballing, I do have an offset but want to go pellet for ease. this giveaway reminds me that I need to order seasonings. Do think a dehydrater is my next appliance to buy. I do have some venison that I got last yr and being a disabled vet I was gifted some moose meat this looks like a good idea to use both hoping I can borrow a trackchair this yr and get a deer or 3 but not greedy. Great channel ty for ideas and recipes

I actually enjoyed this very useful video and now know what to do with all that meat in my freezers, so thank you guys, gives me something to eat when I go fishing, one quick question though, how long would you say it lasts and do you do anything to it after bagging it like keep in fridge or just a cool place thanks for sharing. from Scotland.

[@twindad0461]

Hey guys! Love your channel and particularly loved this video! I hope to try out this recipe sometime soon as it looks very delicious (will need to use beef as I don't get to deer hunt anymore). Also, and most unfortunately, some of the equipment that you are using for home use such as the 1.5 HP grinder, the vacuum sealer, and the dehydrator (things that I would love to have and may someday have if Santa is good to me) combined are somewhere in the $1,500 to $2,000 range and since I do not process this type of recipe regularly it becomes difficult for me to justify spending that kind of $$. So, in my case I'll use what I do have and try to reproduce the jerky using my kitchen aide grinder attachment and my vertical smoker and hopefully end up with something similar. Do you have any other tips since I won't be using a dehydrator (although I am considering buying one)? This might be a stupid suggestion since you are marketing equipment, but I think it would be really cool if you guys made similar videos using or demonstrating (for comparison) the typical equipment you might find in peoples homes i.e. a small old fashion hand grinder, typical kitchen oven or smoker, cheapo vacuum sealer, etc.. Anyway, as I said, I love the channel and your very informative and well done videos. Keep up the great work!
