Title: first run at jerky
Post by: seth30 on September 21, 2011, 08:24:28 PM: 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. :chuckle:

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.
