Any BOTLs here make the stuff? I don't care what kind, I love all of it. If anyone's up for selling or trading, hit me up. I don't have any 'gars, but I've got a lot of books, CDs, and DVDs I'm sure.

Thanks folks - Kegan

Never ordered from this site but had the jerky a couple of times driving through Baker, CA. It is great stuff.

Hey Kegan....I've made it before, but I'm a huge fan of Wild Bill's, which you should be able to find locally. If not, they also sell online (I've ordered from them before because we can't get Wild Bill's locally).

looks likes a good price, always looking for some good jerky that doesn't require an entire day to chew one piece.

Speaking of jerky, I remember as a kid my dad bought a dehydrator and bought like $300 worth of meat, he said we could eat for months if we had to, after it was done we had a handful of mediocre jerky and a huge dehydrator that stole all the counter space. Then he turned on the TV and saw an add for the FlowBee, then turned it on me:-) (what a piece of crap, still buzz #2 guard my own hair to this day), and the cycle continued throughout my childhood. Sorry for the jack, and good luck with your hunt for some good stuff.

Here's the cheap (and best way IMO) way to make your own:

The problem with countertop dehydrators is that they don't move enough air, so they rely on heat to help dry the food out. The problem is the heat partially cooks the food, which is why the jerky tastes different than commercial stuff. I have made the recipe above using the airfilters/fan method above and it makes great jerky. :-)

I've ordered from Troyers several times and have found there product on several other sites at various prices. Personally have tried the mild, spicy and hot jerky, all was quite good. It's chewy, but not leathery. Has a little moisture left in it and is marinaded in spice and or peppers along with the smoking process.
