FAQ

What kind of meat do you use?
SlantShack’s beef jerky is made from either 100% Grass-Fed Scottish Highland Cattle or USDA Prime Beef – the choice is yours. For more information about our meat and other ingredients, visit Meet Our Meat.

Where do you sell your jerky?
Why right here, on this lovely website! You can Build-a-Jerky to your liking or choose from one of our expert-designed Chef's Choice packs. SlantShack Jerky can also be found at a few stores (whose buyers have EXCELLENT taste) and markets, primarily in the New York City area. You can see the current list of retail locations here.

I think I might like to sell SlantShack Jerky at my retail establishment—what should I do?
Email jerkme@slantshackjerky.com, and our wholesale gurus will be at your service faster than you can say Original Marinade with Jerk McGurk’s Wild Rubdown and Brown Sugar Glaze.

When can I expect the jerky I ordered online?
As each order is hand-crafted to your liking, it takes about 2 weeks to process, create, and ship. If it’s been longer than that and you’re concerned that your jerky has been forgotten, misplaced or eaten by a ravenous FedEx truck driver (it’s been known to happen), please contact us at wheresmymeat@slantshackjerky.com.

How long can I keep a bag of SlantShack Jerky?
For optimal flavor and texture, we recommend consumption within one month, though we doubt you’ll be able to keep it around that long.

Is your jerky gluten-free? Or free of some other ingredient I’m allergic to?
SlantShack Jerky is not currently gluten-free, but we’re working on it. If you have any other allergies, please refer to our Ingredients List to make sure you don’t unwittingly poison yourself with our tasty meat snacks.

How is jerky made?
We'd be insane to tell you...

Step 1: Thinly slice beef. Step 2: Marinate beef in Top Secret SSJ Marinades for a top secret amount of time. Step 3: Cook beef slices in top secret grade dehydrator oven (keep the oven vents closed and the temperature set to SECRET for the first SECRET hours, then open the vents, and continue to cook at SECRET degrees for another SUPER SECRET hours). Remove from oven, glaze (as desired), apply spice rub (as desired), and add additional toppings (as desired). Jerky has never been so simple.

What exactly goes on in the SlantShack Experimental Laboratories?
One of the primary missions of SlantLabs is to discover bold, adventurous flavors, as well as to come up with innovative, alternative ways to use and/or eat jerky. You can track major development in the Lab on our Blog.

Who are Jerk McGurk and Smoky Sanche?
Jerk McGurk is the patron saint of the SlantShack. He has ensured the relative structural integrity of the Shack for three years while its inhabitants perfected 21st century jerky. Smoky Sanche was Jerk McGurk's and SlantShack's greatest friend. He passed away in the summer of ’09.
