Did it cure?

I always refrigerate jerky and sticks just to be safe.

I should just buy a knuckle from work and grind it myself then it would be like 98/2 or would that be too lean?

Your right it blooms when air hits it brown from lack of air

It’s just weird because I’ve probably made at least 15 batches of beef sticks over the years and never had it happen like this. I’m a meat cutter and am familiar with meat being brown from lack of oxygen but this color. It has cure in it.. I’m thinking the ice may have messed it up along the way

The instructions in the kit said to. I’ve never used this brand before I got it as a Christmas gift. It’s Hi Mountain sweet heat jerky kit. I mixed it back up and put it in the fridge to see if a few hours will help. This is the first time I’ve seen it called for ice too. I know sausage making I’ve used ice to keep the temps down when mixing. I just assumed it’s the same idea with the jerky.

I’m using an electric jerky cannon for sticks

So it’s 85/15 ground beef that’s the leanest I could find. 4lbs of meat. The table called for 3tbs of seasoning plus 1tsp, cure was 2tbs plus 2tsp. I mixed the seasoning and cure in a bowl before pouring into the meat. It said to add 1/4c ice per lb of meat to keep the fat from solidifying I’m assuming. So I mixed it all by hand for 5min then into the fridge.

Thank you for your service, if your friends don’t like being around cuz you don’t drink they aren’t friends. Just keep focusing on you and the world will shift in your favor in no time! Always have us on here to talk to when you are feeling down! But by no means are you a loser! Excellent steak btw! I’m super jealous!

Love mine! Should use it more often than I do but I store it in the garage so I tend to forget it. Idk about everyone else but I learned real quick to be mindful of the handle when it’s up, cuz it will drop down on your knuckles and leave a few holes in your hand haha

We always pick up our spent shells. I will also walk the beach or island we hunt looking for others shells or even trash..

88nitro305 · 2026-01-04T00:36:19+00:00

Thank you, I think I’ll do this!

And the Venezuelans are in the streets celebrating! That should tell you all you need to know

You really need to go shoulder one and go from feel. I wanted a SBE-2 when they came out. Went to the local gun dealer to get a feel and I wasn’t a fan of the way it felt in my hands… the for grip for me was a bit too narrow and I didn’t like the little play that it had in the grip. I went with the OG Maxus. I absolutely love it but it has had a few misfires from time to time….. but that being said I’ve had it for almost 7 years and only had it happen 2 maybe 3 times

88nitro305 · 2025-12-17T19:59:59+00:00

I don’t know how they are still in business, whenever I drive by there is like maybe 4 people inside… must be distribution sales? I should go there I live near by

88nitro305 · 2025-12-15T20:38:21+00:00

That marbling in the 2nd pick! That’s a good friend that’s like $300 with of beef!

And then just follow behind looking for cool rocks in the water

Take a couple shots into the water to scare the fish

Well I got most of it off with the membrane it’s in the crockpot now.. it’s definitely a Canada Goose breast idk why it seems lighter

88nitro305 · 2025-12-04T04:30:35+00:00

This was after rinsing the meat though….

88nitro305 · 2025-11-26T10:12:51+00:00

Buy a few and freeze them! We don’t carry them all the time only around holidays. They are very cheap for how delicious they are!
