    I have made tons of whole muscle jerky but never restructured. When I bought the new stuffer during the Christmas sale, I added the jerky maker attachment to give it a go at some point. This weekend was the time. Started with 15 pounds of 93/7 ground beef. It was on sale for two bucks a pound cheaper than any whole cuts, so I used it instead of grinding my own. Added meat, seasoning, cure and smoked meat stabilizer to the mixer. After 4 minutes it dead stopped my #22 grinder attached to the mixer. Added 16 oz of water and it was turning again. This is the second time this week my #22 has dead stopped. Earlier this week it stopped while grinding pork and cream cheese at the same time. Wish I had waited 3 months to buy the grinder and gotten the new one with reverse. Anyway, got it all mixed up and into the stuffer with the jerky attachment. Man does that thing work slick! It made quick work cranking out two strips at a time. I can’t even imagine how much time it saved compared to using a jerky gun. Got them all extruded and did some in the oven and in the smoker. Both turned out excellent!

    Couple lessons learned.

    1. #15 of restructured jerky takes up a lot of space! I had my whole counter top plush the top of my deep freeze full of jerky on just the first run through the stuffer. It also takes a lot of room to cook it. The first run through the stuffer filled my smoker, my Traeger, and my oven. Second run filled my Traeger and oven.

    2. I wish I didn’t have to add the water. The Traeger handled it but the smoker and convection oven both struggled to dry it out. 2 1/2 hours in the Traeger and 6 hours in both the smoker and oven.

    Overall, the flavor and texture is great. I will definitely do it again.

                          I have made tons of whole muscle jerky but never restructured. When I bought the new stuffer during the Christmas sale, I added the jerky maker attachment to give it a go at some point. This weekend was the time. Started with 15 pounds of 93/7 ground beef. It was on sale for two bucks a pound cheaper than any whole cuts, so I used it instead of grinding my own. Added meat, seasoning, cure and smoked meat stabilizer to the mixer. After 4 minutes it dead stopped my #22 grinder attached to the mixer. Added 16 oz of water and it was turning again. This is the second time this week my #22 has dead stopped. Earlier this week it stopped while grinding pork and cream cheese at the same time. Wish I had waited 3 months to buy the grinder and gotten the new one with reverse. Anyway, got it all mixed up and into the stuffer with the jerky attachment. Man does that thing work slick! It made quick work cranking out two strips at a time. I can’t even imagine how much time it saved compared to using a jerky gun. Got them all extruded and did some in the oven and in the smoker. Both turned out excellent!

                          Couple lessons learned.

                          1. #15 of restructured jerky takes up a lot of space! I had my whole counter top plush the top of my deep freeze full of jerky on just the first run through the stuffer. It also takes a lot of room to cook it. The first run through the stuffer filled my smoker, my Traeger, and my oven. Second run filled my Traeger and oven.

                          2. I wish I didn’t have to add the water. The Traeger handled it but the smoker and convection oven both struggled to dry it out. 2 1/2 hours in the Traeger and 6 hours in both the smoker and oven.

                          Overall, the flavor and texture is great. I will definitely do it again.
