- I bought this jerky gun to replace a smaller Nesco one that I had used for about a year when one of the nuts at the end of the tube cracked. It only held about half a pound of meat, and I make about 5 pounds of jerky at a time, so I bought this one to save some time on reloading. Boy does it ever save time! It is very easy to load, and the mechanism on the handle for pumping out the jerky is so comfortable and easy to manipulate, it greatly cuts down on fatigue. Also, you can put out 2 strips (or sticks) of jerky at once, also saving a lot of time. What used to be an hour long process took about 20 minutes, so if you make a lot of jerky at one time, this is a no-brainer; buy it; its worth a little extra money to save that much time.
- I haven't owned it for very long, but everything seems very durable and well made. I think it will survive at least 3 times longer than the Nesco one I had previously purchased (which was about $15; I paid about $45 for this one after shipping costs).
- The only negative is that it is somewhat difficult to clean. This thing is HUGE and must be cleaned by hand; no way it will fit in a dishwasher. But the time I saved making jerky more than makes up for the 3 extra minutes it took to clean it.

I bought this as a gift for my husband because he likes to make his own jerky. He usually spends several hours getting everything just right. With this, he was able to go from start to finish in about 1/2 an hour. The end results of the jerky were perfectly shaped and uniform so they all dehydrated consistently so they were done at the same time. The round ones do take longer to dehydrate than the flat ones, but I liked the texture of them better. Loading and cleaning were very simple using the enclosed instructions and everything was included in the kit that we needed to get the job done.

Can't go wrong here folks. If you are into making jerky then don't go out and get some cheap jerky gun. This is top of the line at a reasonable price. The gun and attachment are well made and pumping
seasoned deer hamburger out is with the utmost in ease.
Big thimbs up here.

9 months service, and look for to many years of use!
After using this guns for 9 months, I can say NOTHING BAD. Yes, it has to be cleaned, but that's expected. No sign of wear (except the label on the outside of the tube). Read more

Best jerky gun
This is the best jerky gun I've ever used. It is easy to assemble and take apart for cleaning. Multiple heads for user preference. Great product.

I have made a bunch of jerky and beef sticks
I love the capacity of this thing. I can shoot a lot of meat before I need to reload. It has the attachments to make beef sticks which turned out delicious. Read more

It didn't save me any time.
The product works fine and is easy to use. The problem is the use of ground beef. I didn't realize that I couldn't just put it in my dehydrator at 145 degrees. Read more
