We’ve been making jerky in our smokers since 1968, and we’re proud to say this is our favorite jerky gun ever. It’s packed with features and can produce a lot of jerky and pepperoni snack sticks in a hurry.
The Smokehouse Jerky Gun comes with two stainless steel tips, one for making jerky strips and the other for round snack sticks (which is what we love to use for making pepperoni). The mechanism is made of corrosion resistant metal for years of trouble free service. The tube is one of the largest in the industry and can handle nearly 1 lb. of ground meat per load. The handle is machined aluminum making it extremely durable and lightweight for ease of use.
Making your own homemade jerky and pepperoni is easy to do. Just fill the tube on the jerky gun with ground meat seasoned with one of our fine Smokehouse Jerky Dry Rub & Mix seasonings, our Smokehouse Pepperoni Sausage Mix or your own recipe. Attach one of the two tips included; then squeeze the handle for jerky strips or sticks. Place the strips or sticks on the Smokehouse Drying Screens for easy handling and cleanup, then place them right in the smoker (or even your oven).
*Smokehouse Tip: The Jerky Gun’s round stainless steel tip can also be used to stuff 19mm sausage casings if you want to make traditional pepperoni snack sticks that have a little snap to them.
Since 1968, Smokehouse Products has been building smokers that have been used by our father, and our fathers father. It is a tradition to come together with family and friends to share the heritage of producing only the best smoked foods. It is time we share it with you.

JERKY GUN KIT: Comes with 4 nozzles, and you can make flat jerky strips and round snack sticks. 2 cleaning brushes help you clean up the tube and nozzles easily.
Press down the thumb lever on the handle assembly and pull out the pushrod. It will now be sticking out of the back of the gun. To load the jerky gun, attach the funnel to the front end of the chamber and stuff your ground meat mixture into the tube using the tamper/pusher (like you would using a meat grinder). Make sure you fill the tube completely and avoid creating air pockets.
I like to completely disassemble my jerky gun to clean it, but be sure you keep track of all the pieces! For example, if you take apart the handle assembly, there is a small recoil release spring under the thumb lever plate you will need to reattach when putting the gun back together.
Dehydrate for about 3 ½ to 5 hours at your dehydrator’s highest setting until beef jerky has reached 160°F and has dried. Let cool, then store in ziplock bags.
The first thing you’ll want to do is cut up your meat into manageable chunks that are small enough to fit into the hopper of a meat grinder. The meat you use is up to you; it can be from anywhere on the deer. I grind flank and front quarter meat that’s too awkward or sinewy to slice. I don’t like the taste and mouthfeel of deer fat, so I remove as much of it as possible. However, any silverskin or white gristle can stay, as you won’t even notice it in the final product. I recommend using a large chef’s knife and a smaller boning knife for this process.
Once the chamber is full of meat, choose your nozzle tip (flat, round, or round double) and secure it to the front end of the chamber using the retaining ring. Dispense meat by repeatedly squeezing the trigger of the jerky gun. You will see the pushrod move down into the tube as you go. I pipe the meat directly onto the trays of my dehydrator and use a butter knife or spoon to cut them to size.
