Just got a LEM Jerky Cannon that came with a trial size of Backwoods Original, where I'm looking to buy more seasoning kits with cure,
Just curious of every ones favorite Brand and Flavor, as not to waste money, seems like Hi Mountain Original is a favorite? What's your favorite? Thanks

Here is a recipe I've been using through trial and error.

If you are using Cure #1, you should only add 1 teaspoon to 5 pounds of meat. Otherwise, the recipe sounds good...JJ
 
My recipe is much like Flamz911 with an addition of 2 TBS A-1 sauce, 1tsp fish sauce and only 1 tsp of Cure #1.
I also don't use a jerky gun. I mix meat and marinade well, let it sit for an hour. Then I roll it out on silicone baking mats to about 1/4 to 3/8 in thick into a 10x14 in rectangle. Transfer to frog mats and smoke. When done I transfer to cutting board and use pizza cutter to make 1.5x5 in strips.

Thanks!! I just go by what it says on the LEM cure package. It says 1/4 tsp per pound.

Oh ok, that's a different Story. If using a Kit, go by manufacturer directions...JJ
 
I have used dirtsailors and disco's recipes, both very good. Owens Bbq is also top notch. High Country for store bought.

I dont use kits, it's just the LEM cure salt in a package...FLAMZ911


I just checked Lemproducts.com and they had this... https://www.lemproducts.com/product/lem-cure-4-oz?rrec=true

Is this what you have?

The usage instuctions...
How do I use it?
1 oz. of Cure for 25 lbs. of meat or a scant 1/4 teaspoon (1.1 g) for 1 lb. of meat. Do NOT overuse!
That is 1 1/4 teaspoon per five pounds. Using too much can cause health issues in some people...JJ
 
I have tried 2 commercial mixes-

Nesco
Pacific Mountain Farms

Both very good.

Have tried many recipes also.

Never really had a bad batch.

Yup, that's what I use. I have it written in my recipe as 5 1/4 tsp.
 
Looks to me as 5 1/4 tsp.
As in 5 tsp plus 1/4tsp. I see now you look at it as 5 each 1/4tsp. Sorry for the misunderstanding and my inquiry. I was afraid others might see it as 5 1/4 and wanted to clear that up ...JJ

Probably good to point that out. I'll use better judgment next time when posting a recipe. FLAMZ911

So far my favorite is High Mountain Cracked Pepper and garlic, just a bit hotter than expected. So want to try the Owens Cracked Pepper and garlic as mentioned, to see if it's a bit milder? Also want to try Con Yeager Hillbilly seasoning as many I know claim is really good, but don't see much here about it?
 
Owens BBQ
Hickory & Mesquite - add 2 TBLSP of Mrs. Dash Chipotle Seasing
"Jerky Flavor" - add tablespoon granulated garlic

All of their flavors are pretty good though...just tried sweet & spicy - it's good but...seems like it needs something - maybe a dash of teriyaki
