I have a jerky cannon new in box I haven't used yet. I didn't realize you could use 80/20 beef. Is store grind ok?

Yes. It is Jeff. There is a learning curve on using the cannon though. After a few attempts you'll get the hang of it.

Rick, Sounds interesting with the addition of the pork!

Yeah you just may have a bit of oil come out and blotting to do.

The jerky cannon is great with the double heads and doing smaller batches.

When you start doing 10 and 20 pound batches of jerky it may get a little slow with the gun but feel free to reach out about rolling sheets of ground meat for jerky at that point.
I don't think I do less then 10 pounds at a time so the jerky cannon got gifted to my brother will do no more then about 3 pounds of meat at a time so that's like 2 cannon stuffings max.

I'd probably never do less than 10, my brain doesn't function on small batches lol

Looks good
Thanks for the recipe.

That's the way I do ground meat jerky.
I have a board at home (MN) with 1/4" guides on the sides to quickly roll out uniform thickness slabs.

All looks great from here.

I picked up a bottle of that "W Sauce"
Trying it out today for some beef souvlaki
The smell is just unreal.

Same! Less than 10 pounds turns into so little it gets inhaled in like 3 seconds. So 10 and 20 pounds at a time for me :D
