    Is ground jerky "chewy"?

    With as popular as ground beef jerky seems, I'd like to know if it is chewy like muscle jerky? Does it just break apart? I'm getting ready to do a big batch in my SV24 and am wondering about buying a cannon and taking advantage of the ground beef sales in our area.

    40-60 lbs of pork belly due to arrive....

    ...in 2 days! This will be our first go at this bacon. I've been reading all I can find, and have the book "Charcuterie" and will most likely go with their recommendations at least on 10 or so lbs of it. As a beginner, what should I be wary of? I can always use one of the electric Big Chiefs...
