agreed!

It's expensive. I made my own a few times this year and it cost $7 for maybe 1/4 lb finished. Still working on the recipe & technique. Definitely better than store bought, but it's a work in progress

Based on the costs, you might need to do the same.

How about we'll start buying it from you

Whoever has a really good smoker (Ahem, Bryan)...should get on it

I may give it a go but when I looked at prices of meet when lazlo started this I was shocked at how much he was selling it for.

Once we are settled I will try it out and let you guys know how I fair.

I'm guessing he used electric because not all flavours were smoky.
That's what I'm doing anyways...

But you must make some however you can!

He used a lot of curing salt and smoke flavour. Which isn't bad. It certainly speeds up the process. And if you don't mind your yearly does of sodium in one bite, it's all good

I need some MOAR because I've been craving it for months.

Found this...I might try it out.

Pricier than what we're used to, but if it's good, it's all we've got!

I recall we paid $21 per pound correct?

Hrmm,then there's this: http://www.wilhaukbeefjerky.com/

Family run. Will have to call.

This one might require larger orders.

Around there from what I remember.

I need a fix...that store stuff Jacks Links just isn't cutting it, and it's freaking expensive.

Found these guys, from what I was reading the Dragon's Den owns half of the company and all of them enjoyed it on the show.
http://www.bkhjerky.com/shop.html

Right from their site: "Wilhauk takes orders of any size!"

I meant for it to be worth it, because of shipping.

I had some funds left in my paypal and jumped on the link from Bryan.

I'll let you know if it's good. Got the spicy pork, spicy beef, and curry beef.

Tease.........

I ordered from www.bigjohnsbeefjerky.com before Laszlo and I gotta say.. Laszlo wins hands down. I tried their sticks and slabs.. The slab was literally a brick. What a mistake!

Nice let us know how it is!

I've been trolling eBay for hot pepper powders
The flavour replication continues...

why not dry your own and mortar and pestle them to a powder?

I've done it with home grown cayenne for the last batch and I have some scotch bonnets that I've dried. But I want something more exotic. Source for fresh nagas, reapers or scorpions?

Laszlo likely still sells seeds. Try him?

If not..ebay.

Got the Jerky finally.

They sent to the wrong address, said I inputted the address.

Split the cost of shipping once more...grr

Going to try it tonight.

Save me some for Sunday

Anyone talk to Laszlo lately?

Michael,

So what's the verdict on the jerky? I got me a fever and there is only one prescription...

The Jerky from this BKH Jerky is not your typical jerky.

It's a wet saucy type that needs to be kept in the fridge.

The pork jerky I bought is better than the beef, the beef is fairly tough.

Overall I don't recommend it, especially for the price.

Nothing holds a candle to Laszlo's stuff so far.

Someone persuade him to make a batch.

I'll email him.

I got a reply from him. Doesn't look like he's going to start back up. He's not even sure himself when he's going to.

I offered him $30 a pound.

No reply yet.

frack I might even go up to $40 it's that good.

If he does it at $30 i'd still take like 10.

He's out of the game indefinitely

On a plus note, I tried my first ghost pepper. Have a bag of about 12 of them. I first tried half of one with a chicken alfredo penne pasta, it was HOT. But not killer. Then the other half with an already spicy Thai chicken and rice soup. And all I gotta say is WOW!!!! What a nice pepper!

I'd like to get my hands a California Reaper next.

That's so depressing

I've been making my own and haven't looked back. Lots of info and recipes on the interweb - you can really own it!

I had some pork loin sitting in the fridge and I tried it for the last batch. You wouldn't even know that it's not beef! That might just be the solution to the cost dilemma since pork is way cheaper. Actually the pork came out more tender and melt-in-mouth with the same flavour.

The only problem is that I can't keep up with my own demand

Ooh I like that Rob! Pork is better for you too so this would give a healthier option.

Which dehydrator are you using?

NESCO American Harvest. Very no frills, it doesn't even have a temperature setting.

I recommend the Excalibur

My dad soaks the meat in soy and Worcester sauce litre bit of garlic powderover night thenpat it dry then in the oven use a 100 watt bulb until dry

Best jerkey i ever had!

It's coming...

I don’t think you guys understand how excited I got the second I saw this thread pop up. I miss this stuff

Nice find Rob!! I think next year I might make an attempt at doing it on the smoker and see how that goes.

Let us know how it goes!! Great price!

Rob. You just saved me from becoming a vegan!
