Anyone have or have thoughts on a Cabela's elect. Jerky blaster
Use burger and add seasonings. Put on tray and then in the dehydrate for some jerky?

Is their something better in terms of the cabela unit?

I use ground venison and it turns out excellent!
Three hour in the oven at 200. Turn over and around every hour.

I've never heard of jerky strips from a ground product... how do the strips come out? What is the texture like? That's intriguing indeed.

Most folks can not tell its from ground meat.
The cure seems to bind the ground meat together.

It is very good. A friend got his antelope and made a batch using original "High country" mix.
It was just like a jerky strip. Ummmmm. If you use Ground beef make sure it is as lean as you can get.

I have a manual jerky gun which looks like a caulking gun. I have not made the ground jerky in a while but its good. Smooth and buttery soft. It does not have the grainy, stick between your teeth pull of regulars jerky.

It doesn't matter if the jerky shooter is manual or powered, it's still a pain in the ass to repeatedly fill the jerky shooter meat supply tubes.
It is also a bigger pain in the ass to clean up the jerky shooter, nozzle, and two or three meat supply tubes.

I have transitioned away from flat strips style jerky from the Cabela's dual tip jerky shooter.
The reason is two fold, having to fill the jerky shooter tubes, and the cleanup.

What we do now is prepare the ground meat mixture with a LEM # 12 grinder, mix in the seasoning, and then use the LEM grinder with a snack stick sausage stuffer tube. (round, think Slim Jim style)
We bought a foot pedal electric on/off switch for the LEM grinder, and "shoot" the extruded meat mixture onto the dehydrator trays, directly from the grinder with a sausage stuffer small tube.
When dried, the finished product is about the diameter of a yellow wood pencil.

The Cabela's jerky shooter hasn't been used in years.
All of the LEM grinder parts are stainless steel and get run through the dishwasher. No more scrubbing out jerky shooter parts in the sink by hand.

We use venison when we have it, and 93% ground beef when we don't.

OK then Big Grin

Is that really what they're called? "jerky shooter meat supply tubes"? Big Grin

I just looked on the Cabela's website. They don't sell extra tubes for the electric jerky shooter.
Cabela's suggests contacting the manufacturer.
They call it a cannister on the electric model.

They no longer offer extra tubes on the manual model either.
For the manual model, they call it an aluminum tube.

So we can call those tubes anything we want to. Wink

I was in the Hamburg, PA Cabela's store several weekends ago. The Bass Pro purchase of the Cabela's brand has not been good for Cabela's.

Never cared much for the ground stuff. I have used their seasonings to apply to thin cut venison strips as they go into the dehydrator, and those tasted good. But that ground mess? Naaah.

So you're making Slim Jims?
