When I visit family, I make sure to pick-up a couple of pounds. Their Bohemian flavor is pretty spectacular.

Just discovered they sell on Amazon

Haven't found any massed produced Jerky that I like anywhere. There is a place in Mckenna, Wa right outside of Yelm and Ft Lewis that makes great jerky. Stewarts Meat market and butcher shop. I usually order a shipment from them once a year.

Stewarts is one of the jewels of this area of the PNW. You haven't lived until you have gotten jerky from a meat vending machine. Not a vending machine, a meat vending machine. But not widely available so, Tillamook's it is for me, though I'm not 100% sure that it counts as "widely available" either, but since I know for a fact its available in Washington AND Oregon, there you go.

Ditto

As usual these kind of threads motivate me to buy and try stuff. Just picked up a 10 oz bag of Old Trapper ($10.98) and an 8 oz bag of Tillamook ($8.98). Both Old fashioned style.

Initial nod is to Old Trapper over Tillamock. Better taste, less sugar too.

Not sure I’ve seen Old Trapper. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Old Trapper for me. I like the hot stuff best but the black pepper is great, as well!

Oberto original thin slice.

Perky Jerky. I hate that Costco stopped carrying it and replaced it with their own brand that isn't as good.

This is firm now from my knothole. Also was disappointed that too much of the Tillamook had sinew and gristle indicative of less than stellar cuts of trimmed beef (maybe a bad bag / batch but I find it inexcusable).

I'm trying Old Trapper today. The meat cuts seem to be quite good. The flavor of the regular is mild typical jerky flavor - nothing strange. Not too salty. It is a tender/moist type. I could go for a bit drier and chewier, but it works well since the cuts are good.

on amazon: EPIC Venison & Beef Strips. good ingredients - no sugar, no honey.

The amount of sugar in commercial jerky is what drove me to start making my own.

Trying Tillamook by accident today. Flavor is ok but the quality of the cuts isn't as good as some others. More gristle and dried fat.
