first run at jerky

[seth30]

Well went and bought myself a dehydrator for 70 bucks.  Soaked the neck meat in marinade for about 15 hours and just put the jerky strips in.  I will get up at midnight check it, and then every two hours until its time for work.  Hopefully it's done before I have to go to work. I am hoping that my first set of jerky will taste good, if not I know my dogs will enjoy it.

Seth, it looks like it is going to turn out excellent.  Be sure to let us know when to come over to sample it......   John

at 2 AM it was ready to go!  I let it air dry until my normal time of getting up at 5 AM an dhad a piece.  A little chewy but packed with flavor! Gave the dogs a piece as well, and now I have 3 certified stalkers

I have made alot in the dehydrator. Add a bit of liquid smoke next time and see what you think.

I would suggest the smoke as well.  You could also add some meat tenderizer to you marinade if you want to try to tender it up a little.

That is a nice looking dehydrator.
