Jerky and an Ice cold beer on a hot 40 degree day gives me a hard on!

Nice order you got going there Jaron.

Jerky. Beer. Hard On. Jerky :D

hi peeps

just wanting some advice, I want to give a family member a dehydrator for xmas so he can make his own jerky.

just wondering what the best kind of dehydrators to use? have found the eurolab ones and just seen the other unit posted on here.

is there much difference or pretty much do the same job?

Make sure you get the Eurolab one that has temp control.

Depends on what you want to spend. The drier Jason posted will be better but the Eurolab is fine for the Jerky hack. You can pick the Eurolab one up for $60 on Deals Direct if they have them in stock.

found a eurolab on ebay for $49.95 which isnt to bad. its for a beginner just for jerky to play with. he loves to cook so would be good to start him off and if hes keen he can upgrade later.

will have a look at both and will keep in mind the temp control :) thanks!

Bringing up an old thread...

I have just put in the fridge meat for marinating. I have only cut up about 400g of Top Side in which I did 2/3's cut along the grain, 1/6 against the grain strips and 1/6 against the grain offcuts/cubes.

My recipe is as follows:

100ml cup soy
1 teaspoon jokoba paste
1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning

Going to marinate it for 24 hours and then put it in my dehydrator.

^let me know when its ready and I'll head over ;)

I got a dehydrator for christmas... will me doing my own jerky very soon - as opposed to spending $30 a week at the Biltong store in town

Did you get the one with the temp control??

haven't opened it yet Jase. Not sure. I will look when I get a chance
