The way i see it, though i may not be totally correct is this.
If its fatty then no, if you cant eat the meat rare like chicken or pork then no, as you don't cook jerky you dry it so it is still raw meat.
So any lean meat that can be eaten rare is ok. I have made Beef, Venison and Pigeon so far with good results and its all nice as hell.
Hmm Pigeon i never thought of that, did you just add salt and pepper? i am gussing it didnt take that long to prepare?
