kruton Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Y'all know know I am not a negative person right? But I have to disagree on any Jack suggestions. I am a cat that will keep my personal opinions to himself. If you like how it tastes thats cool with me, cause in the end that is all that matters. Besides, Jerky is a personal preference, some like moist and chewy, but some folks including me, like it dry and pack it in like chewing tobacco LOL. -Steven Nothing like a pinch between the gum and cheek!

Thats the beauty of this forum and thread, what is it about Jack's you don't care for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 You are a very positive person indeed Mr. Wigwag, having been through your fair share of cloudy days, and seeing the silver lining beyond, so I believe you of all people are definitely entitled to disagree on a subject we know you are well versed in. Maybe you know something about Jack's we don't, I like getting input from different backgrounds and experiences, good or bad, so lay it on us!

WigWagWorkshop Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 First off, my favorite Jerky was King B, I grew up in Wisconsin. It's hard to explain, the area I grew up in, and the fact I am the youngest of 7 kids. With that being said, I am not good at expressing, explaining or telling a story using a keyboard. but here is a news article, and maybe we can talk using voice, instead of words. lol http://www.jsonline.com/business/29227269.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 With all of this jerky on the forum I decided to branch out with some jerky brands I've never tried before. Got this at Walmart. Pretty good really, just a good mildly moist jerky flavor. Not overly salty. The price per ounce wad cheaper than Jack Links. I like it, good stuff.

KnarlyCarl Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wow @WigWagWorkshop that was quite informative, and sad, even ridiculous, but such is for the love of money.... I never cared for JackLinks stuff, could never quite like it much after the first few bites, maybe just where I bought it from, but i haven't had any for years now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Well time for updates!! . Found these at Menards, the world's kitchen brand was 1/2 off for that size, and it still is possibly. I bought these Friday. .. My least favorite. Smelled like a combination of fish food and dog food, plus it tasted like it too. Also is hit or miss pulling out a good piece one time and the next is bad. The few pieces that were decent pulled apart nicely and I could chew easily, OK flavor if you plugged your nose lol... Then the next piece was wafer thin and tried to cut your mouth up when biting into it. .. Next up is jack link's Matador It's OK, I don't like the dry crumbly combination of beef and pork, but at least it didn't leave a nasty waxy aftertaste in my mouth like their regular beef jerky does. Not for me, I want strips of beef. Flavor was lackluster too ... My favorite of the three, plus they had 1/2 off so I got two and I'm glad I did. Pulled apart great, just how I like it, ever so little pepper kick to it but I really like it, no tough parts, I was able to chew everything without a spot of sinew or whatever it is that I hate running into, always have to spit that out. Delicious, but not quiteTommys! .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Don't remember the brand but the stuff I get at the ranch and home is the best. Wanna say it comes out of Idaho or Montana. Also found a great (be it expensive) brand that I loved even more that is made in Idaho at a gas station. Wish I could remember the brands. I'll have to pick some up again. Another brand of spicy venison sticks that I can't remember that I can't get enough of even though I'm not the biggest fan of the taste. I'll do my homework and get back to you.

Hugh Jass Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I like really dry jerky that shreds into delicious strands. I used to have a source years ago of the perfect jerky and haven't found anything that's half as good since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I settle sometimes for jack links sriracha, but as said just too much moisture for me to really love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 For moist Jerky, I lay it on a rack in my mini fridge, for a few days to dry it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr8ondt Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Unfortunately my 2 favorites are somewhat hard to find near me. 1) Taylor Beef Jerky, they were sold in local Shell stations for years but haven't seen them in a while. 2) Roberson Hickory smoked Jerky, they are sold at Love's Truck Stops under Love's brand, there is a Love's about 1/2 hour away and when I can I grab some but doesn't seem often enough. https://www.robertsonshams.com/product/ROBjar.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I get mine from the butcher shop down the street. All those store bought ones taste like dog treats. Have a good recipe for homemade using the oven to dry it its just kind of pain so never do it lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicolasRamos Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Why not right? We are plenty of beef jerky eating fellows so why not review some dried meat we endulge in and start some chatty, lots of brands out there and more and more coming.So I'll start off with Duke's Original Recipe Smoked SHORTY SausagesThese aren't bad, soft and tender but fairly dry. Flavor is similar to a summer sausage with the right amount of salt. Definitely worth a snack, I wouldn't eat them regularly but from time to time these are pretty tasty.JimboSent from my iPhone using TapatalkI do love those Dukes!
