I know a lot of you are using this stuff. Are you doing anything different from the instructions, seasoning wise?

I tried some of the Bourbon BBQ flavor a while ago (in my dehydrator) and was dissapointed. It didn't taste good at all.

After reading all the recommendations here, I decided to give Hi Mountain another shot. I just pulled a batch of Cajun, done in my smokette with 2 mid-sized chunks of hickory, and it has almost no flavor.

Are you guys doing something to jazz this stuff up?

I follow directions to a T! Then i add meat usually 4 pounds @ a time to a gallon bag. Then i add 2-3 cups of mr.- mrs-t bold and spicy bloody mary mix. Seems to add a little more flavor and keep meat more moist. I sometimes marinate for 36 hours....always turns out good no matter if its cajun or original! The bloody mix can be found in the liquer aisle of most stores.
After sitting in the fridge overnight, the Cracked Pepper and Garlic actually has a little flavor now.

For the Hickory flavored one, I ended up dumping some Tony Chechere's and black pepper on and pressing it in with wax paper before smoking. This one turned out really good.

Always possible, but not likely. I get it from the local Cabela's, which is still a pretty new store. I haven't noticed any clumping mentioned in the instructions, and I've tried 4 different flavors.

Tony C's is good stuff...little high on the salt, but loaded with flavor. Not familiar with the Hi-Mountain stuff, but I have heard mixed reviews.
I have used it 4 times now. I too followed the directions to the letter. slices evenly cut sprinkle on the meat evenly, stack the meat so it is back to back with the next piece, I wrap it it tightly in plastic wrap then in a zip lock bag then 24 to 36 hour later I cook it.

All have been tasty.
I have used just the Hi Mountain Original jerky seasoning, followed the package directions, marinated 24 hours, smoked in my smokette and received rave reviews on the flavor. Even a friend who does not like jerky brags about how good mine tastes. I want to try other flavors but will probably make my own liquid marinade since the other flavors of Hi Mt. don't seem to get good comments.
