Jerky gun

[Kansas170]

I got tired of using a hand jerky gun so I made this one out of a Dewalt caulking gun. All I had to do was change the tip which I got from my other jerky gun. It fit right on. I make a lot of venison jerky out of the burger. I have an MES 40" smoker I set at 145 degrees and it takes 7 hours to do a batch. I have an external smoke unit attached to the smoker because the MES will not heat the chips up inside enough at 145 degrees to light them. I use Nesco Jerky seasoning mix. They have great flavors and comes with the cure also. They make it real easy one pack of seasoning and one pack of cure per pound of burger.

Nice first post. I just purchased a Jerky cannon from LEMs. So I'll be going the manual route when I start doing sausage and jerky post Christmas. If I like results then this will be something worth looking into.

Point for sure.

I made one out of my favorite calking gun, but not electric.
Then decided I liked whole muscle Jerky better, so I parked the modified calking gun.

You do know that is cheating, don't you?

Now that is slick! Reminds me of a weedeater motor powered blender I once saw. Nothing like a 2 stroke adult beverage.

I use Nesco Jerky seasoning mix.

The Nesco original makes great jerky .

Looks like a Binford 1000. (Tim the Toolman reference for those who get it)

I just made ground venison/bacon jerky with my gun yesterday for the first time. I wasn't counting on us liking it, but we sure do! Kudos on the creativity! I'm going to show my husband. After several pounds, it makes ones hand/arm a bit tired.

Awesome idea might have to try this.

How much ground meat will fit per run? Is there anyway to stuff bigger salami casings? How big tip you reakon you could put on there?
