Hi Mountain BACKCOUNTRY Jerky Seasoning and Cure Kit | Variety Pack | Backcountry favorites: Original, Hunter's Blend, Bourbon BBQ, Jalapeño, & Spicy Lime, Beef, Venison, Deer, Elk, Up to 20 lbs

I've been making hamburger jerky using nesco for years now and everyone loves it. However I heard good things about the Hi Mountain so I bought the sampler to give it a try. I'm a big fan of the Orig, Mesquite, Hickory, and cracked pepper/garlic. All great flavors. I'm also a fan of the bag of seasoning that you measure out what you need rather than having it prepackaged. Now from experience with nesco brand I assumed that I should cut the cure by half to make it edible otherwise it is WAY too salty. Unfortunately, Hi mountain is even saltier. Even only using half the cure called for, it was so salty as to be completely inedible. Now if you knew how much I salt everything, you'd actually know that when I say it is too salty it has to be really bad. After the first test, the second batch I made, I used 1/5 the amount of cure and for me it was just right, for the rest of my family they felt it was still too salty. The third batch I made, I left the cure out altogether. Everyone agreed that it was still missing something. The final batch I mixed the seasonings in and then using a salt shaker, I just sprinkled the cure in (probably about 1/4 tsp for 2 lbs hamburger) and it was just right. Being that we eat it about as fast as I can make it, cure really is not needed. Hi Mountain will now be in the rotation. We still like Nesco but Hi Mountain is equally as good, just different flavors. With Hi Mountain I find I like the Mesquite mixed together with Cracked Pepper/garlic best. Just anyone trying this BEWARE!!!! SALTY beyond edible if following directions. Make small batches until you get the ratio correct

I liked the variety of flavors that were in this multi-pack for the price point paid. Very easy instructions to season the meat.

This jerky cure assortment is fenaminal, the flavor are out of this world. I highly recommend it

We liked this variety pack for being able to sample the various seasonings. We really liked the original, mesquite, and hickory flavors. The cajun was okay but not very strong and the pepper n' garlic was mostly pepper with minimal garlic flavor. I took off 1 star because at the end we still had about 1lb of Mesquite and 3 lbs of Cajun flavor left without any jerky cure. Our bottle also came without a lid, so mixing the powders was not so easy. In general, it's a good jerky seasoning kit but I prefer to wet marinate; the process to lay out all the meat, pat it dry, then sprinkle seasoning on both sides and then mix again in the bowl just seemed like extra unnecessary steps compared to mixing the seasoning and cure with some water and marinating overnight in a bowl.

Bought as a gift

I ordered this variety pack after trying the original flavor and it was missing the hickory seasoning but had 2 packages of the cracked pepper and garlic. Turned out to be sorta helpful since you need to add a bit more of that seasoning than the instructions say to get good flavor with whole meat venison jerky cut at 5mm. I seasoned according to the directions and after the first batch I used the included shaker bottle to sprinkle more on top right before smoking. That came out much better. I haven’t tried the mesquite or cajun yet so I can’t speak for those. The original flavor is good but I prefer the Mossy Oak brand original flavor compared to this when used as the directions state.

Love this stuff!

Awesome set! Great flavors and easy to follow instructions! Highly recommend!

good variation of seasoning made rabbit jerky turned out good

Good product if you know what you're doing. A lot of the negative ratings would be rectified if they knew whatever you're doing do 50/50 with pork. You need that fat content. Also this is beyond 5 star if cooked in a smoker.

Sur la boite il est clairement ecrie 20lbs alors que l'annonce dit 30kg il me manque du produit pour produire 40 lbs de viande🤬
