I use this jerky gun. I got it when I first started making jerky and have been waiting for it to break so I can upgrade, but it has surprisingly lasted quite a while.
The jerky absolutely stays together and holds shape. Once it goes through the dehydrator it stays in that shape. That’s one of the big things I like about it over whole muscle jerky - you can get everything into almost identical shapes/sizes. There’s also a lot of my friends and family that prefer it over whole muscle jerky since the texture is much easier to chew.
Here's Alton Brown's recipe in text form.
His recipe is a great starting point. You can modify it to your own liking after you've made a few batches.
As for meat choices, top round or flank works out for me. Ideally, the leaner, the better. Here's a chart for meat cuts
I currently use this Nesco dehydrator that I got for $20 from a garage sale. So if you have the time to do some garage sale hunting, hit them up!
You're going to get a lot of Nesco suggestions, for good reason. I have this one and love it. I make jerky like once a week. This one has adjustable temp and element on top and plenty of power to do jerky in a just few hours. That's all you really need.
People's Choice is by far the best commercial jerky I've had. It doesn't have that weird translucent and rubber texture, just simple well cured/seasoned meat. Not all that weird, but great stuff.
Thanks! In this case, I used a Victorinox 12-inch slicer as an experiment to see if I could get the uniform thickness I wanted by hand. I think next time I will drag out my meat slicer just for more uniformity and ease.
I've been using a Nesco American Harvest for about 6 months. Actually, the first one died but I sent it back and they replaced it.
It doesn't have a timer, but it does a great job making jerky. Mine came with a jerky gun kit and some of their jerky spice, which is fantastic.
I bought the dehydrator linked below for <$60 and bought 5 additional racks for it to increase capacity. Between chicken, turkey, and beef, I've probably made upwards of 200 pounds of jerky on the thing. Two years later, it's still running like a champ.

I've got a Nesco fd60 that I've been using for a few years with frequent use with no problems. I use it mostly for drying my peppers for powders/flakes, but it works great for jerky as well.
If you're looking to just do jerky, I ordered this one (note it's a dehydrator instead of a smoker, but all I use it for is jerky and it does awesome) about a year or so ago and have been extremely happy with it.
This is the one I have. It works very well. It is honestly quite fool proof.
Do some basic research about the meat you want. Slice it up. Marinate it. Pop it on here until it is done. It works well. I have done several batches for hiking/camping trips and it always receives compliments. If you have questions, let me know.
Use that money and get a Nessco dehydrator! http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-FD-60-Snackmaster-Express-Dehydrator/dp/B000LNVUJQ/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462385768&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=nesco+dehydrator
Its fun and easy to make it yourself and a hell of a lot more cost effective! Usually much tastier too!
Ahh good to know! Thank you, I will look again, I was about to buy a plastic one.
I think Im going with this one for now: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000SQFGRS/?coliid=I26UVNX11DDSKG&amp;colid=1JBNBSBQSAXHM&amp;psc=0
the stick ones are easy with a jerky gun. I avoided one for the first two-three years of making jerky because I thought it was dumb, but I finally bit the bullet and wish I had gotten one sooner.
I either buy really lean ground beef or grind it my self, mix it together with the flavor with a paddle attachment of my stand mixer and then load the tubes. Dries in about 5 hours for me.
i have this one and love it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090WOCN0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Also if you are going to get into this id recommend a jerky slicer, I have this one and it works great Weston 07-3801-W-A Manual Single-Support Jerky Slicer, Charcoal Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001SGB3SS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kg84Cb5A27HWV
I use the cheap nesco off of Amazon. It's pretty great, but I dont have a thing to compare it to.

I like this brand a lot, it's made with smiple ingredents and family made. They have a lot a different flavors but I can only vouch for the original.
Woot had a deal on this one for $189.99 a month ago. I have had good luck with amazon warehouse deals and they have the same warrantys. Looks like they have one new with just damaged packaging with means the package got damaged and returned but the product is in new condition for $208.79 with prime shipping.

You can also go another route, and use ground beef with a jerky gun
This method is my favorite because you don't have to marinade the meat first, just mix spices or pre-packaged mixes into the meat.
I love spicy. I grew up in Louisiana and consider spice (and salt) that flavor of life. My wife, not so. She grew up in Cali. When we first met, black pepper was really spicy to her. I am working on her though, but sadly i know she will never enjoy the same level of flavor i do. :(
About my allergy, I never knew I had it until I tried Paleo. Now that I don't eat gluten, its amazing the difference. I recommend this book to you. It has changed my life big time. Basically all it has you do is try paleo for a month then introduce some of the foods your miss one at a time and see how it affects you. Worth every penny and time spent reading it.
$23, good reviews.
I was using one of these plastic ones because it's quick, I can do longer strokes and i don't give two craps about the blade condition lol. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004VWKQ/ref=asc_df_B00004VWKQ4838985/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;creative=394997&amp;creativeASIN=B00004VWKQ&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=167125219398&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=9455826069985998008&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9005812&amp;hvtargid=pla-77880055286
Nice my personal secret ingredient from the asian grocer is the "shark brand" hot sauce.
http://www.amazon.com/Thai-Sriracha-Sauce-Shark-Brand/dp/B000EISJXS
I have this. Nesco FD 60
Made 20+ batches without any problems. I have a total of 6 trays and I can make about 4-5lbs depending on thickness in one go. It heats to 165* as well. I think I got mine on sale for ~$40 or so. Great way to get started.
I bought this one years ago and it's like what you're looking for.
I find that I do about 1.5 lbs per time. The racks that I have only fit that much, give or take. However, I may get another set of the same ones so I can increase my output. I have this set of racks: http://www.amazon.com/Bradley-Set-4-Jerky-Racks/dp/B000FJZ1C8
Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0090WOCN0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CMblzb615T0QQ
If I've had to estimate I've probably put 200 pounds of meat and 400 pounds of fruit through this thing in the last 10 years.
I want to upgrade to an Excalibur Dehydrator but this thing just won't die.
I would not normally endorse a product because I'm not getting paid and i dont want to come off all spambotty but i have to say thejerkyspot.com sells a jerky gun for ground beef i bought and absolutely love. Its head and shoulders above those plastic pieces of shit you get from the jerky kits. You can jam it full and mash the trigger and it will not hang up or pop apart like the others. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00US645GQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479526675&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=jerkyspot+gun
Ohhhh, that looks quality. The one I was looking at was this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B072JZLPBC/
It's about half the price of the one you recommended. The reviews are decent, but I know quality is a premium.
if your going to make a lot of ground turkey I really advise you pick up a jerky gun. Will make your life a lot easier from my experience. I use thisbut its a bit pricey (bought it to last).
As far as advice from my experience don't go to fatty on the ground beef... I stick to the 90/10 or above.
I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/EdgeCraft-610-Choice-Premium-Electric/dp/B0002AKCOC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418933710&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=chef%27s+choice+610+slicer
The reason I chose this is because I could then use it for cheese, ham, turkey, etc. I love mine. But I just recently bought the non-serrated blade for it -- not sure what took me so long, but definitely no regrets there.
This one Biltong Slicer with Detachable Magnetic Tray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T16XV9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3Pk3Db6B3HNEM
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JZLPBC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_KS6RDbQVPQCCW. Is what I found
I haven't started my jerky work yet, but I've always marinated my meats for cooking in one of those vacu-seal things.
This is the one I've had for a while now..
Black and Decker Vaccum Sealer
I was planning on using this to marinade my jerkey once I start in on it....
I would suggest the bowl with plastic wrap though if you obviously don't have one of these...
This one, right? https://www.amazon.com/JerkySpot-Capacity-Aluminum-Double-Attachment/dp/B00US645GQ/
I have this
Weston Jerky Slicer
I've had it for 2 months and its great, it makes slicing a breeze. All you have to do is cut the meat into slabs that will fit into the chute, then crank it through. Imo it has 2 drawbacks you might be concerned with, you can't adjust the thickness of the slices and cleaning can be a pain. The whole thing can be taken apart so cleaning most of it is easy but the blades are a pain. if you do deicide to get it I would suggest also getting a pipe cleaner or thin bottle brush with very stiff bristles for cleaning in between the blades.
I have this Nesco. I'm on my 2nd one as the 1st one died after a few years of use. I almost bought me an Excalibur one, but did the math and saw I could buy 4 of the Nesco's for the price of the Excalibur. I figured it might have been my rough handling of the Nesco. If this one breaks with my baby-ing it then I'll probably break down and get the Excalibur.
