Do you have a tried and true salt percentage when making whole-meat jerky? Is it similar to sausage, where one would typically use between 1.5% to 2% salt?

Has anyone tried using Honey during the curing process? I have some honey granules and was thinking about throwing them in my salt, cure, and sugar mixture. Just not sure if I should use it in place of the sugar or if I should add it as an extra ingredient. Then comes the question of how much to...
