Look at Cabelas they have all kinds of jerky flavors in lil per mixed boxes for $6 makes 15lbs of meat. It has packs pre measured for 5lb batches. I would do what ever flavor I wanted and only use 11lb of meat. There's cure packs in it also only use two of them for 11lb meat. That's easiest most consistent way I've been able to make it. Add lil cayenne in marinade for spice.
I bought a jerky board on eBay for $25 its white like cutting board plastic. I use electric knife to slice it. Works better than slicer unless its real expensive one and meats really cold.
