Wow that’s some chunky beef jerky. I’ve only ever had the stuff from the supermarket here in the UK and it looks nowhere near as good as that.
-
I’ve always fancied making some since I heard about it on marks daily apple.

Looks good to me, thanks!

Still plenty of free samples available for senior members here just shoot me a pm, don’t make me eat the remaining couple lbs of this alone cuz I will without thinking twice.

Last chance for samples of this batch, eating the rest for a snack this afternoon.

The next batch is busy marinating. The weather this week does not look good, the rain will make it much harder to keep the heat up… but I will try to smoke this batch asap. For those curious about what cuts of meat I use it really is rather random, its mostly price dependent, $18 a lb (.03 BTC) is really really cheap for jerky and to keep prices low I have to use what I can get for a decent price. I have a few different supplies of beef, this weeks is some really nice big trimmings from a local butcher shop and local cattle. If people want special orders or higher end cuts I can always do them but they will cost more. If people want local grass fed beef I can get some and sell it but it will cost more.
I am still looking for some reviewers, if you have been a member here for a while and live in the USA post here or send me a PM and I will send some tasty free samples to you for review.

I was thinking about developing a pool that pays out in beef jerky, just like multi pool mining it would auto convert earnings to btc and then you would get credited a weight in beef jerky for those BTC. You could keep track of how much beef jerky you have built up and I would ship out everyone’s beef 2 times a week.
Is there anything better than pointing your gaming GPU at a mining pool and automatically having beef jerky show up at your door?!?
-
Sounds awesome damn that shipping to Europe usue :(

I have been looking at UK and other regulations. There really does not seem to be anything to cover this type of good. Perishables = not mailable, however, the beef jerky should last a few weeks at a minimum if not a few months (depending on storage conditions). Normal packaged jerky will last longer but has preservatives and is not going to be the same quality cuts I make. I don’t use anything to preserve the meat other than drying it out at low temps + smoke and I also salt the jerky after and let it sit to get out the rest of the moisture.
If any of the UK members want free samples I am willing to try to ship over there. I would love to know if it gets caught or if it makes it through. I will make another batch later this week when its not raining cats and dogs out (probably thurs) and ship out to the UK members.

Sounds good. I’m happy to pay for a really small bag. (As a trial run) I love beef jerky!

As my first FTC person interested I will ship you a small bag free. I would hate to have my first UK customer pay for some and have customs eat it all on its way to you. If you feel inclined to tip or pay for it after that’s all up to you :) Ill post more info when the next batch is cooked, just shoot me a pm with your shipping info.

OK sounds like a plan. Thanks :)

rent-a-cop in airport security is going to enjoy his snack. ;)
