Round Jerky Sticks

Making jerky at home isn't hard, and is a better value than buying even store brand jerky. This gun enables you to use the cheapest and easiest method of making jerky, and thats using ground meat, usually hamburger, but other meats as well. This gun is made of high quality materials and feels very solid. Works very smoothly and is much easier than the cheap one you might have gotten with your dehydrator. The motion is very precise and it is never difficult to squeeze. Cleaning is very easy. I would say that it holds more than 1lb of meat which means less work and less time. Buy at least 90% lean burger, mix with a premade mix, or mix up your own with soy sauce/Braggs Liquid Aminos and garlic and onion powder. 5lbs of burger turns into about 2lbs (32 ounces) of jerky.

This is high quality product. Works great and comes with many fittings. Cleans up easy. Customer service is outstanding.

First of all, this is the largest jerky gun on the market, it literally is twice as long as the closest contender claiming 2 lb capacity, so this one has 4 lb capacity that nobody else comes close to. So if you are serious about how quickly you can process your batch of jerky for dehydrator, this one can handle a 6 shelf Cosori dehydrator in 3 loads, which allows you to pack the entire thing with ground meat in less than 15 minutes. It is all metal construction, including threaded rings at the end of a tube, so it should last a very long time. It comes nicely equipped with everything you might need for making a jerky or stuffing sausages. As a matter of fact, if you don't make sausages for sale, there is no need for a dedicated sausage stuffer if you have this gun, it is large enough and easy enough to use for stuffing even larger diameter 2" casing. Besides LEM, this is the only gun that has a dedicated web site that you can use to buy parts or to deal with warranty/repairs issues. After a year of very active use rubber flange on a plunger developed a crack, I reached out and got fast response from the owner of the company that shipped to me a damaged part. I'm very satisfied both with the product and with the service I received from Sigval!

The gun mechanism itself, the tubes and tips are high quality, easy to use and built to last. Loading the barrel is okay but would be easier if it was wider. Not a issue if you are making a small 1-3lb batch, but was noticeable when making 6lb or more. Cleanup was easy EXCEPT for that double shot tip. Fibers would wrap around the center split and couldn’t be removed by the brush - only by a toothpick. But the worst part to clean is the interface between the plastic collet and the stainless part inside. The tip needs to be redesigned to allow for a short cylindrical section for the collet to slide down on for cleaning. If I had to fight with cleaning this every day I would return it

I have never done jerky before, but I figured I had a bunch of ground venison and I would try it. Holy cow it is easy! I used the nozzle with the one hole that is wide, and it was super easy (double is a bit tricky). The tube holds 1 lb, and all I did was mix the ground venison and seasoning and shot it on to some silicone sheets that are made for dehydrators, put it in a smoker, several hours later I had the perfect jerky. It is easy to clean also, with just soap and water. this thing is surprisingly sturdy, if you know how to use a caulk gun, you will not have any problems with this. I will say, follow the directions! Just roll up the balls of meat and put them in, then start pressing it down. Take your time, and I did find that when you shoot it out and get to the end, just take a knife and cut along the edge. I made five different types, and my friends said it is the best venison jerky they've ever had. Again, the best thing about this one is it is metal, and no plastic.

Right out of the packaging I can tell this gun is much better quality than the one that came with my Nesco dehydrator. Today, I made two 1-pound batches of jerky from ground venison. Had a little difficulty threading the cuffs onto the tube, but once on, they didn’t allow product to ooze, which was nice. The unit works very smoothly and I am quite happy with that. It all feels very sturdy. It has an awesome double-barreled tip that makes extremely quick and consistent work of forming the lines on the dehydrator tray. Now, here’s the only issue: The plunger leaves a lot of product in the tip as it stops way too soon. So what you’re left with is a jammed up tip. I tried pushing it through with my thumb, no luck. I ended up using a shot glass to press some more of it through. That was only marginally successful. I ended up scraping the rest out with a butter knife and making a meat pancake which I manually cut into jerky sized strips. I’m guessing it was less than 1/3 of a cups worth. So, I would recommend being prepared for this inevitable end. Maybe the company will see this and create a mini plunger to push that last bit of meaty goodness out. Other than that, this product is pretty great!

Everything I needed to lay out lean ground beef. A little practice to coordinate squeezing out a row evenly. All the parts and nozzles I foresee ever needing. Easy to clean with running hot water. Worth the little bit extra cost to get an all metal device, plus an excellent set of extras. This should last many years. Instructions are a little sparse regarding the extra parts. One extra part you might add to help push out the meat that would remain within the nozzle. A set of long plastic nozzles are for filling various sausage casings. Add your own spatula just narrow enough to scoop the meat into the end of the cylinder, then use the provided tamping rod. I think the capacity is 2# of ground beef, not the 1-1/2# listed.

Works pretty well but went in the trash after first use. Do not take any part of the handle apart for cleaning and check the nuts frequently or you'll never get it back together. Also check the ends of the cylinder because it's just flared to hold the threaded section on and meat gets inside it. Take a needle or something extremely thin if you don't want rotting meat underneath the threaded ends. The included "brushes" are worthless.

Really like this product . Easy to use , easy to clean. I recommend mixing your spices with ground meat in a cutting blade food processor, it make more of a paste and meat hold together better. Also it make the extruding from the tips easier and the strip a more consistent jerky stick. The 1.5 lb tube is very handy and makes going through large amounts of meat very easy. Would Highly recommmend this product.

Was pleasently surprised on the quality of this product. I was kind of expecting flimsy tube and plastic. But it is actually quite sturdy, solid and feels solid. Used it about three times since I ordered it and used several tips. Every time, it worked really well. Easy to clean. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking to squeez some meat into Jerky.

Really easy to use, and easy to clean. Feels solid and well built, Made short work of turning 1Kg of mince into jerky strips. Worth the wait and price. Comes with a storage bag to eep everything together.

Très facile à utiliser et très robuste nous sommes très content de notre achat Nous avons fait déjà 12 livres de viande haché de jerky et il fonctionne hyper bien

I ordered this and waited patiently for its delivery, i thought it would be perfect for my needs and under the illusion that you get what you pay for, I didn't mind that it was over £90 ...I was expecting quality. However the first issue was that it arrived late! I had a load of meat I would have to freeze if it didn't go in the dehydrator, so I bought a rough neck grout gun for £30 locally which I picked up that day....problem solved. It was way cheaper than this expensive jerky gun! And I love it. It is easy to clean, operates smoothly, and holds a good manageable amount. The jerky gun arrived, hidden In a neighbours bin, no card through door, still saying not delivered on tracking info.....so kinda lucky i found it. Anyway it comes with a handly little storage bag, packing tool, cleaning brush and different attachments, it is quite small so I would have to fill it more regularly(the bit that takes all the time!) It has a sticky movement and squeaked, which was a definite no for me! I have not attempted to use it so have no idea how it works when filled. Its no where near as good a purchase as the rough neck. They will not accept a return, so no refund on this hugely expensive and useless item. That I'm now stuck with. Don't waste your money!!
