well, a neat surprise .... we've been told to make sure we bring an assortment of Jerky with us when our family gathers for Christmas .... one of our traditions is an assortment of snack foods on a counter .... the Jerky will be a new item this year .. 8-)

Hey CT! About half way done with this batch. The gun works as advertised. I used to do this a lot, then fell out of it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

new SIGVAL Jerky Gun ====> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079F ... UTF8&psc=1
it arrived today and its a truly impressive device .... the various nozzles are all larger than I anticipated .... the brushes are clearly sized to make it simpler to clean the nozzles .... every part is much heavier duty than the one we have been using .... the movement of the action pushing the meat out of the gun is very responsive and very smooth .... I'll add some pictures of it in use when we make our next batch

a few pictures of the new SIGVAL Jerky Gun and the bag that came with it .... as noted, its solid .... we just finished seasoning and mixing 3 lbs of our regular Jerky and 1 lb of Teriyaki flavored .... the Teriyaki batch is a first for us ..... the batches are in separate ziplock bags in the frig .... we plan to put them both in the dehydrator in the morning

we have 6 trays .... this morning with 3 lbs of hamburger we filled 5 like the one below and a small part of the 6th using our new Gun ... we used the double slot nozzle shown on the left .... as anticipated the SIGVAL Jerky Gun works much better than the one that came with the dehydrator .... first picture below shows the strips put down this morning .... second picture shows the nozzle we used on the left .... third picture shows strips put down by the first gun .... as can be seen, the SIGVAL strips are much smoother and uniform .... I attribute that not so much to the nozzle as to the action pushing the meat through the nozzle .... as usual we will monitor the process, we anticipate it to take 10 +/- hours
