Jerky Types Update
When I first started this jerky review web site in the summer of 2014, I had to figure out how to categorize the various jerky types. I settled on three general categories: Mammal, Bird, and Other.

$6,000 Worth of Jerky Reviewed
It took a little over six years to review $6,000 worth of jerky. The single biggest complaint about jerky is the high price.

Keep in mind the meat loses 50 – 75% of its weight due to moisture evaporating during the drying process. That’s Read More
