Jonathon going to do snack sticks without casings using a jerky gun. Would I need to add a binder, carrot fiber, if I’m not stuffing casings?

Jonathon thanks for the info.

I made 1 batch of imitation bacon using the #2 seasoning but want it to have more bacon flavor. How much hickory powder do you think I should add to a 2lb batch?

What is the best lean to fat ratio to use for restructured beef jerky
