Nope. Got a Hesco dehydrator. Bought a bunch of lean ground meat. Have a little gadget you put the meat in that looks like a caulking gun. Pull the trigger and it comes out in thin strips. Cut at about 6” length strips. My Hesco has 4 trays and cooks about 1 pound at a time. Didn't cook the meat, only added some spices. Once it was done, put in vacuum bags and put in fridge. They say it goes rancid after about 3-4 weeks in open air. Don't know why. The stuff you buy in the store ain't cooled. Anyhow, it's the best jerky we ever had.

Awesome - I bought the Nesco hydrator also and wondered when I read “ground” meat. Did you just buy ground beef then?
