I ordered this and the original flavors, both worked out well but I liked the original more.  I used this as exactly as I  could to the volume of weight and it did seem a little extra salty - I know Jerky is supposed to be salty of course but if I had one and only one complaint it would be regarding that.  Next time I'll try limiting some of the salt and see how that goes, but either way I do recommend this product it's very easy to use and tastes good. Oh, I used this both for ground beef (using a jerky gun) and for flank steak pieces.
