About Dan's Smokehouse Jerky
Back in 1991, Dan Hamilton’s love of beef jerky and the dissatisfaction he felt with the beef jerky available brought him to a very big decision that changed his life. For many months, Dan tried multiple combinations of smoke, seasonings and cuts of beef to create a perfect beef jerky just like it was made in the early 1900’s. Finally after trying hundreds of combinations, he arrived at the recipe that is the signature trademark of Dan’s jerky. Dan can’t tell you the cut of beef he uses as that’s his trade secret but he can tell you that no other beef jerky maker uses this cut of beef. Most use a brisket or form jerky from miscellaneous pieces of meat. That’s why Dan’s jerky is a true artisan gourmet beef jerky. Did you know over 2.7 million packages have been sold worldwide? All Dan’s jerky is cooked at his facility in Weatherford, Texas, a Texas State Health Department approved facility utilizing TSHD preparation process and vacuum-sealed to assure freshness and taste. Dan is a meat process and manufacturer of beef jerky, beef snack sticks and sausage. That means we buy specific cuts of meat, cut it, marinade it, cook it and then package and sell it. There are no restaurants here, but many people come to our jerky plant to get their fill of beef. We have the Most requested jerky in convenient stores here in Texas. People buy cases at a time, from us, to send to our troops.
