has anyone ever used a dehydrator to make jerky, can it be done. i made deer jerky years ago by hanging meat from over grate with door cracked open, temp set at 170deg.

Yes, its really easy.
Timing will depend on your dehydrator and taste.

I cut mine really thin and over dry them like meat flavored potato chips

Yeah I have used a dehydrator already, but prefer the smoker

Yes they work great. I bought two of them at a garge sale each was a dollar. Then I found a jerky shooter at a moving sale and got it for .75 cents. It was never used and still had the herky seasoning. I made some a couple days ago and cant stop eating it.

watch out...woody is gonna tell you it's not safe

i use and have used a dehydrator for years. i have a new one that i posted a link in the gear forum that works REALLY well.

I place the fruit roll up tray on an empty bottom tray to catch the grease from the jerky that I formed with the jerky shooter. It makes for an easier clean up.

As I have Said BEFORE many times over...
