  2. Made this for Gene every year as this was one of his contributions to “Deer Camp”. Something to chew on when they were out in the woods 🙂 I used my double ovens because I made so much and Gene made screened shelves just to fit the ovens. A dehydrator always works good too 🙂

    • Oh, Mr. Fitz you totally dooo! 24 hrs mainly because it was in the brine so long. It probably would have been fine at the 18th or 20th hour too. Hmmm, sausages sliced really thin wouldn’t take that long at all- maybe 8 hrs? But oh they’d be sooo good! I really hope you get one so I can see all the fun things you do with it!! 😀

      • Right that’s it! I am getting one! I have been looking and your model over here costs about 160 usd, there are others for like 50? Yet seeing that you are so happy with yours I think that’s the way forward !

      • Whooo hooo! I’d say anything that allows you to control the temp. is good! The only thing I don’t like about mine is that it doesn’t have (or at least I haven’t found it / figured out) how to turn it off without just unplugging it- although that could totally be just a user error… haha. Can’t wait to see what you make, Mr. Fitz!! 😀

  3. This looks like a recipe I should try making. I’ve been meaning to try beef jerky ever since I got my dehydrator, but never came across a good recipe. Thanks for this one.

    • Thanks, Amber! Are you going to try Alton’s box fan technique?? Someone on twitter said that way was better than a dehydrator anyway, so if you do, please let me know how it turns out! 🙂
