Smoking Gun Jerky, Inc. is a privately owned corporation founded in 2009 by Lincoln, Nebraska entrepreneur Dave Ferguson. In conjunction with the University of Nebraska Food Science Division, Mr. Ferguson’s recipe for a liquid jerky marinade was refined and developed into a unique formula for the consumer to make their own jerky from wild game or domestic meats.
Smoking Gun Jerky, Inc. was formed around the following objective: to develop, manufacture, and market a unique liquid marinade for the consumer to make their own jerky. The strength of this product is the fact that it permeates the meat unlike existing dry rubs on the market. It’s quick and easy to use and produces a healthy, nutritious snack at an economical cost, giving the big game hunters another option when it comes to processing their game. This marinade forms the core product of Smoking Gun Jerky, Inc.
Introduced into retail grocery stores in 2010, it was requested that actual beef jerky itself be made from the marinade for the consumers to purchase. A USDA-certified co-packer was sourced, and the production of 3 different flavors of Hickory Smoked Beef Jerky became available. In 2013, 5 new flavors were added and in 2016, 6 additional flavors were developed in the line up for a total of 14 fantastic flavors and heat levels of Smoking Gun Jerky. Today, we wholesale these 14 flavors to other businesses through out the U.S.
