7. Place a drying rack onto a baking sheet
(not included). NOTE: Using a drying rack
will decrease the drying time of the jerky/
snack sticks, by allowing the hot air from
your oven to circulate freely through the
racks.
8. With the Jerky/Snack Stick* Attachment
close to the far end of the drying rack,
squeeze the Trigger to start the Plunger
Assembly to push the meat forward and
out of the Jerky Tube. Pull the Trigger
repeatedly, until the jerky begins to extrude
(FIGURE 5).
*Snack Sticks can be extruded into casings.
Stuff the casing to a length of about 24" (61
cm), then tie knots in the open ends of the
casings. Pinch the casing in the middle and
twist to form two links about 12" (30.5 cm)
each.
9. While squeezing the Trigger, slowly
pull the Jerky Gun across the full length of
the drying rack to form long strips of meat
(FIGURE 6).
10. Continue extruding strips of jerky/snack
sticks, until the drying rack is filled or the
Jerky Tube is empty. Be sure to leave
about 1/2" (1.3 cm) between the strips for
even and consistent drying.
