Thats a good thing. Cause you will not leave the crapper for two days after eating. I stonrgly recomend only eating this stuff on weekends

I've ate my share but never made my own and never had a problem... but I just got done cutting alot of meat into strips for jerkey and gonna let it marinade over night before I start to dry it

One thing I learnt after doing a few batches, was its way better if every slice if the exact same thickness. So I went out and bought a meat slicer. That way every peice is the same texture. Before the thicker ones were chewy and the thinner ones were brittle. Just a suggestion for down the road, unless your real handy with a knife, which I obviously wasn't.

is that cause your


























but yeah I tried to make them as even as possible

Man, I wish I lived closer so I could bum some off ya. I havent had any in over a year!

Mine are all hand sliced, some fat, some skinny. I just keep an eye on it and take the thin ones off sooner. and eat them.
