[SnowCrash]

thanks OP ordered for the first time, been meaning to for a while but I haven't had the disposable income while the sales were good.

[h00ch]

You shouldn't have to use "disposable income" for beef jerky! It should be included in your budget along with your other bills! :D

[rhainman]

Thanks op - I've ordered many times before, and the price is usually a few bucks more than this for 2 lbs. Ordered!

[ikeandtike]

best beef jerky on the planet!

no questions asked

[duckdown]

never seems to get ALOT cheaper than around here :(

[2k4accord]

Got 2 of the "Two 1 pound Bags special" so that is 4 pound of jerky I hope.

I hope they come before Canada day camping trip.
Even cheaper with the Canadian dollar rising!!!

[KemX]

i wanna try this, what are the 2 best flavours?

[TurboTronix]

What are the best flavors and is there any customs to pay?

[zabuza]

Giving these a try... I went for Original and Teriyaki. Hope they're good!

[yu130960]

Been looking at this for months....finally thought I would give it a try ordered hickory original and fiery hot

thanks op

[ikeandtike]

i am new to all of this beef jerky (especially purchasing online)...if these are 1 pound bags and each piece is 28grams u would get approx 16 pieces per bag(correct me if wrong)...so basically $1 each piece...is this a good $?...i have never bought jerky but usually just glace at it at stores and it is usually $1 a piece...no?

or is this some super good jerky?

sorry if am info is wrong.

http://www.bigjohnsbeefjerky.com/images/nutFactsHsFh.gif


nope...in a one pound bag there will be appx 100-150 little strips

[2k4accord]

What are the best flavors and is there any customs to pay?

I like them HOT!.
So I picked all the bags HOT!

I hope they are as good as the beef jerky in my country.

[yu130960]

Anyone know general shipping time to T.O.?

[ikeandtike]

well you are from the K/W area, so i would say they are better!

The main options are Oh Boy Oberto (something along those lines), Jack Linns?? and hero bros (which i haven't seen in a while)

so i would say it is better then those!
so you are in luck my friend!

I like them HOT!.
So I picked all the bags HOT!

I hope they are as good as the beef jerky in my country.

[ikeandtike]

Anyone know general shipping time to T.O.?

usually takes b/w 7-10 days for me here in NL, so i would say about 7 days?

That's per serving, not per piece (ie: 1 serving = the amount an average person would eat in one sitting assuming you weren't addicted to it) :)

[Siefer999]

i bet this thread will turn into a stupid "traditional jerky" vs. "asian jerky" thread

it always does because asians think this stuff is comparable cause they share the word "jerky"

its like saying your wonton soup is better than my campbells chunky chicken noodle soup

:lol:

EDIT: Great jerky btw. I got my 8lb order in the mail on monday. great studying snack. great for camping too. my bro is taking 2lbs camping this weekend.

my fav flavours are fiery hot and original.

[burnaby]

Customs should not tax food. BJ marked my packages as samples.

Flavor is really personal. I like fiery hot, kid like teriyaki and BBQ. Original is good too. I usually order some of each to satisfy the different moods.

Still waiting for my 4# @ $53.50 (ordered May 31, shipped June 4)

Talk about creating a self fullfulling prophecy. 2 Minutes ban for instigating an argument. BTW: Wonton noodle is way better then Campbell chick noodle. This jerky is nothing compare to Asian stuff :twisted:

can this be correct...best consumed within 3 DAYS after opening?
http://numerouno.jerkydirect.com/images/232B.gif

and your jerkydirect post relates to big john's how? if jerkydirect brand jerky says that for their jerky, then it must be true.

I can kill a pound of jerky in 3 days easy since is so addictive but i usually dont and i dont see any loss of quality with big john's by keeping it over 3 days.

they come in vacuum sealed ziplock bags.

Does anyone know how long this sale will be on for? How long will these last for unopened? My brother's birthday is on Aug. 10th and I was thinking of getting this for him.

they have constant sales so if you wait till july there will be another promotion going on. i may be a couple of dollars more though.

i will take a look at my best before dates from the jerky i received on monday when i get home.

[h00ch]

I keep the jerky in the original ziploc bags with the moisture sack (do not eat) for weeks and it's fine.

[_javascript_]

Costco has jerky beef for 6.99 for 255 g.(9oz.) bag. So more than 2 lb costs 28$ cad + tax. But it always there and you don't need to buy 2 lb at once.
Am I missing something?

[Octavius]

Heard lots of good things about them but never bothered to buy them until today.

I'll give them a shot, hopefully I'll get them soon (and hopefully they'll be awesome)

Thanks OP

[Shen]

ordered 2!!

[Siefer999]

all the jerky that i received on monday best before: NOVEMBER 22, 2007

Have you ever gotten taxed? Thinking of ordering a pound of each for my camping trip in July. How long does it take for them to ship?

[Siefer999]

i personally didnt, but my friend did. received this order in 6 business days

[DACC]

If I just order 1 (2 X 1lb); would they ship UPS or USPS? Gotta decide which shipping address to use.

[Nethervue]

Thanks OP! Looking forward to trying! Ordered Original and Hot.

A little off topic, I just bought a food dehydrater last week and was planning on making some jerky, anyone have a killer recipe?

[Siefer999]

usps. marked as a "gift" for me. last time it was a "commercial sample"

time before that, my package got lost in the mail and someone is enjoying my jerky that i ordered. i had to wait for them to ship another one out to me

[Nethervue]

I hope its not UPS...almost gaurenteed fees and charges. Really hope its USPS.

Thanks! Sealed the deal for me. Just ordered a batch to try. First time. I've seen this deal but never ordered before. Probably I'll get hooked like everybody else like in the previous threads. :razz:

Good luck ... once you go Big John's Beef you'll never go back! Make sure you stock up on toothpicks/dental floss.

It's USPS

[Smite]

Guess it's time for me to arrange another group buy. :)

[burnaby]

There's always a sale going on. The last email special did note due to USPS increasing shipping rates from 7.50 to 9.00 they may add a shipping charge. For my $53.50 order it was shipped in May in 2x7.50 envelops. It's now $9 each so 18 bucks out of $53.50 is a third going to shipping, ouch!

Beef sliced razor/medium thin, buy a nice hickory marinade and mix it up.
Let it sit in the marinade for at least 24 hours.

I guarantee you that the smell from the food dehydrator will drive you absolutely insane with hunger before you're done.

Well worth the investment, as nothing beats homemade jerky.

I see here that the jerky companies add MSG to bump the flavor, may be worth adding some if your marinade doesn't already have it.


Oh and I suppose it's worth adding that you should follow directions on hours
for safety reasons.

[TurboTronix]

Ordered all 4 flavors can't wait!

[Pinuz]

Got my tracking number from USPS
should take 3 o 4 days

[mattyg]

Thanks OP! I've read so many good things here about this jerky I just had to order 2xFiery Hot!!

[bobobee]

damn I'm too late!!! $%*&(#$&(*#$, the price is up to 31.95 now! :( Awwww...!

[Nammo]

I have a bag of Oh Boy Oberto jerky from Costco and the ingredients do not list MSG. Are you saying Big John's has MSG? I prefer no MSG so I'll stick to the Costco.

[burnaby]

Looks like they did raise their price as noted in the last email. 4# only went up by $3.50 so not too bad.

big johns regular, hot, terriyaki flavours do not have msg

bbq contains it for the bbq seasoning

[2k4accord]

My jerky orders are in HARRISBURG, PA, which is 429 miles from my house.
They should be here in a few days too.

[Kev84]

how to check order... damn ic an't wait man .............:D dying for my jerky

[TurboTronix]

Man this is adictive...do I have to keep it in the fridge?

[fuzzai]

Man this is adictive...do I have to keep it in the fridge?

no you don't have to keep jerky in the fridge. It will last a long time, just keep it sealed say in a zip lock or what not...

enjoy, i just ordered 2lbs too. mm can't wait...

[burnaby]

2# shipped on the 4th arrived in Burnaby, BC today. Wonder where is my other 2# of the 4# order, hope customs didn't open it up and ate it.

[bobobee]

I was too late on the $28 deal. It's up to $32 now, i just want to know honestly if that's still a good deal...is it worth it? because it sounds like this stuff is really good, and for even 4 bucks more, it'll be worth it.

[DACC]

Got my 2lb order today! They just put it in my mailbox.

Marked "GIFT" and marked value $10.

Cool!! :razz:

[pestilenc]

Have any of you gotten the Teriyaki flavour before? I picked some up a couple of weeks ago and I have trouble telling it apart from the regular stuff. Is this normal or did I get a dud?

Thanks.

[zabuza]

got the jerky today...seems that the flavors are just added after, so if u dont like it, just rinse it.

not sure about teriyaki, ordered bbq and hot.

also, It is WORTH it. it does not have that bloody after taste and also is not hard to chew
Eugh, what jerky did you have that had a bloody after-taste? Let us know so we can avoid it!

[burnaby]

Tried them all. Teriyaki definitely has the soy sauce flavor. BBQ has the BBQ sauce flavor. Fiery hot is best for those who like it spicy. Original taste like most other jerky. Flavor wise BJ is nothing special. I like it more for the lean beef. Doesn't leave that oily after taste.

Sure glad I got my 8# @ the $13.38/# price.

I have the same problem. The teryaki is actually really bland, tastes like the regular one..personally I'll stick with the Fiery Hot next time

[pestilenc]

Agreed, I normally just get the hot and I love it... maybe I've killed all my taste buds :)

[Hellfire]

Hmm I ordered 4lb, 2 lb showed up the other day and I was expecting the other 2 lb today, since how they both shipped the exact same day but nothing has showed up yet....

I wonder if it got jacked by customs

[2k4accord]

I still haven't got my 4lb either.
I checked online and it is still at HARRISBURG, PA.
Not sure if that is accurate those because:
Your shipment was accepted/picked up at 12:45 PM on June 7, 2007 in HARRISBURG, PA 17105 .

I hope they come today.
Can't wait to try them out with some beer this weekend.

[jimmyche]

I just check, the status is same.

Eughhhhhhhhhhhh.... I hate the wait.... where da hell is Harrisburg anyway... i think they stole my jerky :cry:

[zabuza]

Got my jerky, eating teriyaki right now. It's good, if a bit salty. I was expecting a sweeter taste. I'll bust out the hickory at my friend's place this weekend.

Edit: The tracking info is definitely not up to date. I just checked USPS's online tracker and it still reports "received in Harrisburg, PA". Worthless! :lol:

[SimpsonsFana]

Yeah, mine's been at Harrisburg since the 11th. UPS was much faster than USPS...

As for the heavier orders... maybe they cheaped out on the shipping for the 4lb orders and separated them =p

[TheGamer2400]

I can't believe there is 6 threads for Beef Jerkey!

[Dragon120]

Anyone got there freaken jerky from PA yet?

Mine still hasn't arrived yet...

[yu130960]

Shipment Accepted; June 07, 2007, 12:45 pm, HARRISBURG, PA 17105

Electronic Shipping Info Received, June 07, 2007


Mine Arrived today.

[2k4accord]

Damn it!
Mine better come today.

[Binksy2k]

Yeah, mine's been at Harrisburg since the 11th. UPS was much faster than USPS...

As for the heavier orders... maybe they cheaped out on the shipping for the 4lb orders and separated them =p

If your order is like mine, they shipped USPS Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope.

If you read the USPS site, it looks like this grade of shipping does NOT include tracking (though the email does indeed imply that it does).

So, the Harrisberg location will NEVER change; all that site is telling you is that it was picked up, and that is all it will ever tell you.

Mine apparently left June 14th... I think that means that I've got some time until it arrives... Guess I'm looking at 10 days?

[kuqdew]

wow, this **** is heaven!

[Hellfire]

Hmm... still waiting for my other 2lb that shipped on the 4th...if it doesn't show up tommorrow I'm going to have to contact them since the other half of my order showed up last week.

[killoverme]

yeah mine was shipped on the 14 -_- how long does it usually take?

[Binksy2k]

yeah mine was shipped on the 14 -_- how long does it usually take?

Well, it looks like it took 11 days total for a shipment to get to yu130960; and he's in the GTA.

I'm in that neighbourhood, as are you, so I think we'll have similar wait times. Though, a lot of it probably depends on how easily things are moving past the boarder.

[BobbyGeneric]

i ordered mine on the 6th, got the email that it shipped on the 8th, still waiting today and i'm downtown toronto :|

[SimpsonsFana]

Since mine shipped on the 11th, I should be getting it in 4 days or so...
Base all your hopes on yu130960's shipment :lol:

[2k4accord]

got mine 4lb too. 2lb in each envelope.
SO far we almost finish the 1st bag.
This stuff is addictive.
Pretty good for American jerky.

[iamykyle16]

god damn i ordered the barbecue and original. it took me 2 days to clear both 1 pound days myself. i feel sick and probably wont buy more till the end of summer.

ive tried all the flavours and barbecue is my favorite, then the hot one.

[kuqdew]

I never thought anyone could be sick of too much jerky :lol:

[Kev84]

generally how long does shipping take?

[ERIKAAMORRIS]

I ordered on June 9th. RECEIVED TODAY

USPS site says it was picked up in Harrisburg on June 11th.

[Kev84]

Damn, mine says:

Your shipment was accepted/picked up at 2:42 PM on June 13, 2007 in HARRISBURG, PA 17105 .

Damn... hope it comes by this week

[bradb]

This is damn fine jerky... I'm on my second order (first I ordered Hot and BBQ, this time around Original and Teriyaki), but it definitely won't be my last.

[duckdown]

Shipping is BRUTALLY slow to me here in Brampton, thats why I stopped ordering it

[mnadeau02]

I placed an order for this today. Perfect snacking food for a low carb diet!

[Trowa]

Just got original and Teryaki. good flavors. tasty:lol:

[ChiGGz]

Just ordered in class. Friends think I'm ******** for ordering online jerky lol

[fuzzai]

Mine was picked up June 11th, Got it today.

The stuff is pretty good, alot better then the stuff you get in corner stores.

[gizmo8]

I order 2(1lb bags)...I luv the asian jerky now lets see if these are better...

[Dragon120]

My shipment finally arrived. Two USPS mail were dropped off infront of my apartment door, luckily, no one picked them up.

Initial reaction to the very hyped-up beef jerkies. I am an avid beef jerky eater. I ordered 4lbs of each flavour...I opened up the Teriyaki flavour first. It didn't have much taste but I do like the texture. Then I tried the Fiery Hot flavour, not too impress with both bags so far.

Still have BBQ and Original to try...

[SimpsonsFana]

Finally got mine today as well, shipped on the 11th. Great stuff, second time buying from these guys

[cptsquirt]

Mouth on fire!!!! hot jerky is too hot!!! I'm just finishing off the last 1/2 pound of the 2 pound mixer pack... This is fantastic jerky.. I loved the bbq and teryaki.. The hot is a bit too hot for my tastes..

[Ammut]

Got my jerky today, good stuff! Thanks OP. Haven't tried hot yet but after the last post maybe thats a good thing :lol:

[sw1ft]

Received my jerky late last week -- very good stuff. Brought in a bag for work to share with my colleagues: 8 men, 1lb = 3 hours. Tons of jerky!

In fact, I think I may have ordered too much ;) . If anyone's looking to buy 1lb of original to try it out, send me a pm!

[tarobubbletea]

does anyone know what's the expiry date on these jerky? I bought 1 lb bag a few month ago, wonder if they are still good or should I throw it out already?

BTW, I noticed that when you open up a new bag, they smell a bit acidic, I wonder if it's from the citric acid they add. Anyone else noticed that?

[nwwong]

Damn you for bumping this thread! I thought this sale was back!
