most dehydrators come with a pretty good reciepe for jerky, start there and then experiment. Its not hard to do. Hint buy a few extra trays for doing jerhy they fill up fast, also rotate the trays every so often this helps keep them consistant.
experiment on dry time to your liking, some like it chewyer than others, use a good lean roast, slice it cross grain, about an 1/8 of an inch thick but not more than 1/4 of an inch Let me know if I can help, I make LOTS of it |

we have one and love it. From what i have seen they are all almost identical. To the point of the trays are pretty much universal.
Jerky is EASY. Meat, marinade, dry. You can make it many different ways. I like to use ground meat in a "jerky gun" to make strips. Easy to chew and seems to get more flavor. We have tried MANY different seasonings and so far Moore's Marinade is my favorite. Just the right saltyness and flavor. mike |

I bought the cheapest one I could find at walmart and some flank steak, cut it to the right size, soaked it in my marinade overnight and cooked it 6-8 hours and man is it good. People bring me meat at work so I can make them some jerky. DOnt ask whats in my marinade because its different each time I just dump what I have in the fridge. usually some dale's steak sauce marinade as a base. For spicy I jsut use Lousianna hot sauce.

You might also think about using a Little Cheif electric smoker, they work great!

First I would ask where do you live,If in the country you can get an old refig and open the back up with(heres the fun) gun of your choice.
Just enough to get the smoke from your pecan,appricot,or hickory wood burning smoke to exhaust from near the top of the fridg. use the trays from the frig to put your jerky on,light a small fire with the chips in the bottom of the fridg in a pan of your choice. then just shut the door works good for smoking and jerky.

If you're into deer meat I'd suggest using some venison. Keep it natural and add a touch of seasoning. Sometimes I'll sprinkle some salt, or Mrs. Dash, or some Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Deer makes great jerky, practically disintegrates in your mouth. ~H[:D] |

Not all meat is good for jerky. The big meaty part of the brisket comes out pretty good, but the long flat part is stringy and comes out tough. I have thought about trying to marinate the tougher parts for a long time to tenderize them, but haven't yet.
For meat, I use a big sirloin tip roast. I marinate my jerky strips for about 30 minutes in teriyaki and sprinkle on a few red pepper flakes after arranging the strips on the trays. |
