re: Why is beef jerky so expensive?

I smoke my own jerky. It's a ton of work and a lot of expense. I couldn't imagine havnt to make a profit off of it

I use a dehydrator for venison jerky. Several pounds of roast produces a few sandwich baggies of jerky. With all the time and ingredients involved in the process, I doubt budget beef jerky is possible.

My favorite is actually pork Jerky and it is not cheap either.
