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.
