Holston Mountain Beef Jerky - BBQ

Next in the series on Holston Mountain Beef Jerky is this BBQ variety. See my previous reviews of their Original and Hawaiian varieties.

This BBQ variety is the brand's newest, described as a "robust blend of spices [that] creates a terrific mesquite-grilled flavor that must be tried to be believed." I didn't purchase this BBQ variety, it was sent to me as a freebie, after purchasing the Original and Hawaiian varieties. What I have here is a small bag, about 1.5 or 2.0 ounces.

Holston Mountain is run by a guy named Gary Graybeal, based out of Bluff City, TN. The company has been around for the past six years now. His jerky is made from Black Canyon Angus, using top inside round, marinated for 24 hours.

Holston Mountain Beef Jerky - Hawaiian

Next in the series on Holston Mountain Beef Jerky is this Hawaiian variety. See my previous review of their Original variety.

Holston's Hawaiian variety seems to be a very popular commodity, at least everytime I visited their website in the past, I'd see a notice that said "out of stock". So when I finally saw it listed without that notice, I figured I'd better buy some right now. As it turned out, they didn't have any in stock, but asked if I'd be willing to wait. Of course I said, "yes".

Holston Mountain is a small jerky manufacturer based out of Bluff City, TN, run by a guy named Gary Graybeal, who had been making jerky for himself for several years, until friends urged him to start selling it. Holston has been in operation for the past six years.

Holston Mountain Beef Jerky - Original

Holston Mountain Beef Jerky is a small jerky manufacturer based out of Bluff City, TN, run by a guy named Gary Graybeal.

Gary had been making jerky for several years, and shared it with his co-workers. His co-workers liked it so much, that Gary tried his hand at selling it. Holston Mountain has been in operation for the past six years now.

Gary says he uses select Black Canyon Angus, using top inside round, and marinates it for 24 hours, then dries in dehydrators. Apparently, orders are coming in so fast, that he's never been able to test the shelf life on his jerky. His Hawaiian jerky, which I'll review later on, is apparently very popular that if you were to buy some it'll only be a few days old.
