My guess is still sticky, but I bet it tastes good
Why not just add the honey to the marinade?
I bet it is super delicious either way..... :drool: :drool:

That seems like a long time in the dehydrator. I cut mine a quarter inch thick and pull most of it at about 3 hours. I bet your jerky has great flavor. But 8 also think it will be sticky. Definitely worth a try though.
My last batch took three hours and 45 minutes. The reason this batch took so long is because I made some very large slab thicker pieces. I still took them out when they were soft.

I made this batch with my environmental science/forestry/outdoor rec class and they absolutely had a blast. I’m not getting to bring much of it home. I’ll tell you that it was absolutely sticky and delicious 😂

I’ve done that before and it is good but I was going for more of a glazed look on the jerky this time and it did end up completely different. It is incredibly tasty, but it is a little sticky lol.

I'm planning a few batches.
Got a new smoker,this year.

Cut the honey with about 1/4-1/3 hot water stir until thinned out then brush it on when at about the halfway mark.

I was wishing I had a brush with me! And the 1/4 hot water idea is perfect.

Learning curve; I have a pretty nice dehydrator that allows you to add more trays to it and adjust the temperature up to 160 degrees. I purchased two more trays for doing this large batch of jerkey. What I figured out is its added around 2 hours more to the total time to finish a batch. I was planning on purchasing another 2 trays (the company states you can run up to 30 at a time) but reality it's not saving me any time with the additional cooking time they create.
My dehydrator is taking approx 5 hours per batch. I can get 10 ish lbs in it at a time. More meat definitely means more time. My smaller dehydrator which held maybe 2 lbs of meat at a time took about 3 hours.
I also check mine at the three hour mark and pull pieces that are done....then check every hour after that to do the same. My top shelves dehydrate way faster than my bottome shelves.

My last batch of jerky for a bit will be marinated in this for 24 hours before tossing on the dehydrator :tup:

boiling down 2L of Dr. Pepper right now with a cup of brown sugar added and two fresh XL chopped jalapenos chopped into it. I will add a tablespoon of Prague Powder once the mixture has reduced and cooled.Buddy at work did the Dr pepper jerky.

I've made two batches of elk jerky the last two months.
Both were really good, but yours looks even better.
