Thanks for the info, I'm about to get started. I'm excited to start doing my own deer and hope it turns out good. I'm sure there will definitely be a learning process
I've never used Lems, just the stuff they have at academy. Backwoods I think it's called but I like it. Wife got me a jerky gun and dehydrator for Christmas a couple years ago and i don't do jerky any other way now. Just upgraded to the jerky cannon so it should cut my reload time way down
Just did 5lbs of jerky this morning using the lem jerk cannon and their hot seasoning. Took about an hour to mix up and make into sticks and about 2.5 hours in oven. By far the easiest way to do it. And the kids love it.

Be sure to cut as much tallow off as you can. You won't get it all, but definitely remove as much as possible. It's not like beef or pork fat and hurts flavor.
