Hickory Hank and Jack Frisco

Deer Camp Starts Here: Hank and Jack Open the New Frisco

Well, folks, Jack has been wearing blaze orange since August, so I figure it's officially hunting season. And we've got news to go with it: friscobrands.com is brand new. Same formulas we've blended since 1928, just a whole lot easier to find. Jerky, snack sticks, summer sausage, it's all right here.

Jack's rule for the processing season

I asked Jack for one tip to kick this off. He gave me one sentence: "Weigh your trim before you buy." So here's the math he means. Our Pepper Stick, Mild Jerky and Hot Jerky bags each come with their own cure pack, and each one is sized for a 25 lb meat block. Know your pounds, and you know your bags.

  • Pepper Stick Seasoning, $20.95. The blend that took 1st Place at the 2024 NMPA. Making a smaller batch? The product page scales it to 5 lb with a gram scale.
  • Mild Jerky Seasoning, $10.95. Gentle heat, so the whole table eats it. Brine, dry rub, or ground and formed.
  • Hot Jerky Seasoning, $10.95. Same ratio as the Mild, with real pepper heat.

Want the lot? The Locker Pack boxes all three with Hickory Bacon Cure for $45.49.
