Rapier.that sounds mmmm..I am going to have to give it a try also...Jerkey I have tried many different ways but an easy way to break in the dehydrator is buy the pre packaged jerkey mix you find in stores...follow their directions..one thing I do is use a meat slicer so most meat is same thickness..then lay on towel after soak in brine overnight..cover with another clean towel..use (shhhh) wifes rolling pin and lightly roll out lots of the moisture..this also keeps each pc the same thickness...lay on dryer racks, I cover with 'steak broil' seasoning a little..watch after a few hrs though as some pcs will dry sooner than others..just remove the done pcs...let rest dry longer..to keep, put in jar with a cracker....or keep in paper bag...but I am sure the above directions from rapier would be great...also if no deer/elk etc..his choice of meat makes for great jerkey. Am in process of keilbalsa and brauts from deer..ready to case this wk end..also have to finish tapping maple trees for syrup..now there is some good eating..is that time of year to play.

Skeet,
That jerky sounds real good and you just mentioned the only thing I do miss about the north country, fresh maple syrup. Well and cold hard Winesap apples too. I always liked the Maple Fancy grade in a hot rum drink or over vanilla ice cream after dinner. But that light color grade never lasted long as it was swept up by the buyers quickly, early in the season, so you had to be quick at the "sugar house" to get any at all. That was a long time ago, they were still using buckets and wood stoked fires. Ed
