A few weeks ago Tex_77 and I had our steak throwdown! Check out the video below. We are planning on doing some other proteins in the future, if that happens we will find a more permanent place for these videos to “live”

badexpresso It is what we use in our studio

Sydik Farms When we used it we were doing whole muscle so I can’t say for sure that this would be a one to one but here is the post on that experiment https://meatgistics.waltons.com/topic/2155/homemade-beef-jerky-with-no-sugar-jerky-203

Tex_77 I am very glad badexpresso and Departing Contestant pointed that out because I was just about to schedule another 1/4 in fear. I am easily manipulated when it comes to fear of going hungry for BEEF!

Ridley Acres Yeah that “wheel of destiny” missing is because I am trying to do too many things at once and I am …well if we want to be mean then dumb but if we want to polite, I get confused easily! Should be working now, if it is still showing the monthly at the bottom too hold down Ctrl and hit refresh on your browser, should release the cache. Thanks for catching that!

Gave it a background of light orange to let it stand out more on waltons.com/win. Let me know your thoughts!

calldoctoday Hitting refresh “should” fix this. New thing, so working out the bugs!

Dave in AZ I’ve done whole muscle with vegetable glycerin in the past, I liked it. Very slight after taste but nothing to make me not use it again in the future. Do you have a specific type you like?

cdherman When those are done I’d love to see some pics and write up on the process?

Denny O So, there is a danger there that adding more will give you a salty product. I’d recommend a smaller batch before going up by 15%

glen gus4416 and anyone else who wants to try a different way. Check out https://meatgistics.waltons.com/live and see if the lightbox way makes it easier and let me know!

Sydik Farms Have you tried following this yet? https://meatgistics.waltons.com/topic/625/how-to-make-restructured-jerky-recipe If not, go with that, it makes good jerky that isn’t too tough. Also, in my opinion, do it in a smoker not a dehydrator.

salmonmaster Yeah, it was tender, I pulled it when he IT was around 170 if memory serves me. One of those things that I thought I could get it in the smoker earlier than I actually could.

Big one is a Boerboel also known as a South African Mastiff. If that is the dog I can’t recommend them highly enough, awesome, loyal, and funny, but don’t expect them to like strangers or always want to listen, VERY stubborn. The little guy is mix of Staffy and American build go, mostly Staffordshire, he was a rescue but he’s a good boy too other than he eats my doors.

glen No, we changed services, are you going to waltons.com/win what are you seeing that isnt working?

RafterW The government doesn’t have money, they have our money. So no matter what they are doing with it, it should be transparent. I remember 2008 when we were told that the bailouts would come with stipulations and regulations. Then they used that money to lobby politicians to prevent that from happening and we got nothing. Not getting political here but those names should be public information.

hunters stick The higher you can get the relative humidity the quicker you can get through the stall, as higher humidity will make it harder for the water to evaporate off of the surface of your snack sticks meaning it won’t be able to cool itself efficiently and you will get the temp up quicker.

processhead Nope, we don’t have those, that must be an old image that has been in the catalog for a long time. My guess is that is an old hydraulic stuffer tube because the new vacuum and hydraulic ones are all tapered slightly. Thanks for spotting that, we have a ticket open to remove it from the upcoming one.

hunters stick You can add automotive sponges to a water pan and leave them standing up so as much of it is sticking out as possible. This increases the surface area for evaporation and increases the relative humidity. Or you can also use a wicking towel, that you drape out of the pan, this works a little better but you need to have something below the pan to prevent it from dropping water on the bottom if you have an electric coil at the bottom. We will have a towel for this in 2023 at some poiunt

Ridley Acres Lol, yes. That one was easy, I just put that on the monthly though, I didn’t feel like it needed it for the wheel of destiny (the new non-official name) because this is just something we are trying to do as a fun little value add.

Okay, I am hoping that the issue is that I made it one way, tried to change the entry options and it just didn’t like that. So, I set up a new one and put it on waltons.com/win so go there, you will have the ability to enter, then please try again tomorrow and we will see if it lets people enter everyday. I also increased the chances of winning slightly.
