Anyone know the difference between this one (BJX-8) and the Nesco BJX-5 jerky gun ? Also Nesco's website they show a BJX-12?

The guns are all the same. The 5, 8 and 12 refer to the number of jerky packets in the kit. They could certainly make that clearer. In fact, they are confused themselves as the product description on one line says 5 packets while another says 8.

yes, it is the same gun, but we did not have much luck with it. It jammed within the first day of use and we have not been able to use it since. Something broke inside the gearbox when we tried to fix the jam. We ended up junking the gun and bought something else.

Does look the same, and both are 250 Watt. One difference I see is Nesco has 1 year warranty (http://www.nesco.com/files/pdf/bg13_blade_coffee_grinder_careuse_trilingua_r5.pdf), Epica has 3 year (as stated in manual). They have different service addresses -- but doesn't mean it isn't the same manufacturer. Note, on the bottom of the Epica is is marked "Intertek 3015314" -- if you want to compare to the Nesco if it's the same.

I haven't seen the newly shaped product as in this picture. I have only seen the pawprint shapes but it was still named Jerky. I was buying it from Sams Club but they no longer stock it.

The recipe book calls for ground beef to make the jerky. Once you mix it together you pack it in the gun and squeeze it. The ground beef comes out a slit in the end. It helps you get uniform pieces so you don't have some done and some not done.

They are EP, and are inferior to the Polymer80, go to Polymer80 web site to get the real deal!!! they are presently getting the 150 ready for sale, it is beefier in the Buffer tube area, and the mag box also has been reinforced, the EP have mag load issues, and some/most of their tolerance's are so far out of spec you will spend lots of time getting it tuned in, the Polymer80 has their logo on the pistol grip fitment. THIS IS NOT as pictured!!!!

Yes, I bought some. Can't tell the difference with the one that came with the gun, either in operation or in looks.

I have last year's model (the one listed now for $196+ on amazon) and it comes with three features that the newer model (2009 version) is not packaged with. The older model came with a sight, shot gun attachment (allows you to take off 3 lives for an accurate hit), and the attachment for the TV plug and play game (It has been played once by my boys). It looks like Hasbro is going to be selling the attachments separately. To give you an idea on cost, the older model sold last Christmas at Costco for around $70. and at Target for around $85.00. So, I don't know what the attachments will cost with the $50. model, but I assume it won't be the same, or they would have kept the older packaging. Regardless, the price of $196+ is way too high. I guess it is "supply and demand." Or just very greedy people. The toy is awesome. We have four guns, and have a ton of fun playing together as a family. I have to admit the shotgun attachment is really cool. The sight is helpful for sniper shots but not close battles. Hope I helped! Shana

I love the Galco that I bought, It is a quality item !! Mine was for the 9 1/2 inch Redhawk 454. Good and solid, don't know about sqeaking..I'm real hard of hearing, but do like this product.

I would send it back . This is junk. I sent mine back and still use my Nesco that I got from Cabelots

I find that the Nesco cooks much faster. The primary reason I love the Nesco is because of how tender and juicy the turkey comes out!

I wouldnt recommend it. It would take a very long time. Invest the money and get an actual sausage stuffer to save time and frustration. However, the gun works amazingly for making jerky!

i can tell you that they are both the same size and watts. but the 3900B model gets up to 155 degrees, while the 3900 model gets up to 145 degrees. now if you want to make beef jerky then i would 3900B. my personal opinion.. i have the 3900B and it works great. love it.

The one with the pull-out is a BEAP 10001, different item, sells for less than BEAP 10013 and has NO reviews. I know that since I ordered 10013, received 10001 in error and researched it. Anyone know if 10001 works?

Does it really matter? Ask first is if any of these two are available or in stock, which is a common Nesco problem, otherwise you wind up waiting for 1 month for your order like me. Of course they will offer you a substitute ,which is not you wanted in the first place. I got an 80P which makes a lot of noise.

HI, Did anyone send you a recipe? I'm not sure the one that K.A. Schpmeyer sent actually uses the YM9. I saw the one on the German Corner as well.

I am not sure how to compare the 80P to the other since I never tried the FD-80. I have the 80P and I like it. Its easy and works and I haven't had a problem with it at all. I am a bit burnt out on beef jerky though.
