What Sets Smoking Gun Jerky of Nebraska Apart from National Competitors?

When you buy jerky from Smoking Gun Jerky of Nebraska, you’re not just purchasing a snack—you’re supporting a locally owned business that takes pride in its craft. Unlike national brands like Jack Link’s, where the jerky is mass-produced in large factories by an anonymous workforce, our jerky is made right here in Lincoln, Nebraska, by one of three skilled cooks: Rian, Mason, or Nicole. When you pick up a bag of our jerky, you can trust that it was handcrafted with care by someone who truly understands and loves the craft.

 

Locally Sourced from a Trusted Butcher

Our commitment to quality starts with our ingredients. We source our beef from Del Gould Meats, another locally owned business in Lincoln, Nebraska. This partnership allows us to guarantee that every piece of jerky is made from the freshest, highest-quality Midwestern beef, and it also helps us support the local economy. It’s a community effort, and it’s something you can taste in every bite.

 

Discover Our Top Four Unique Flavors

At Smoking Gun Jerky of Nebraska, we’ve taken the concept of ‘original’ jerky and elevated it with unique flavors that you won’t find anywhere else:

 
  1. Applewood: If you’re a fan of classic jerky, Applewood is as close to the traditional “original” flavor as it gets, with a rich, smoky taste that’s both comforting and satisfying.

  2. Wicked Awesome: A fan favorite, Wicked Awesome offers a small kick of spice that’s just enough to keep things interesting. It’s bold, flavorful, and perfect for those who like a bit of heat.

  3. Hawaiian: A personal favorite among our team, Hawaiian combines the sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple with the zing of ginger. This tropical flavor transports you to the islands with every bite.

  4. Dilly Jerk: A unique twist on jerky with a tangy dill flavor that’s both refreshing and savory. It’s an adventurous choice for those looking to try something different.
