Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Just keep in mind you're going to yield 25% jerky compared to raw meat weight.
So that pound is going to net you [double checks Canuck math...] 4oz of jerky.
Definitely enough to sample if you're wary. Smallest test batch I like to do is 2lb, so then I have enough for a couple second opinions as well. If it's just you tasting, not as big a deal. Also if it turns out tasty, 2lb doesn't seem like a waste of time
