Ralph Crane later built a brick gravity house to smoke hams and bacon, but it was not able to make products like beef jerky. Gary Crane bought a used modern smokehouse around 1986, and the company has grown its cooked products portfolio ever since. It now has three three-truck smokehouses as well as some smaller units.

Beef jerky is made from lean cuts of beef that are marinated with various sauces, spices, and other additives. It then undergoes various processing methods, such as curing, smoking, and drying, before its packaged for sale (1).
